St. Vincent, half-inch long. Any suggestions?

This could be Neodrilla cydia Bartsch, 1943. The Turrid notch at the posterior end of the outer lip is absent, but then this is a juvenile shell obviously in a growth stage.

Phil Fallon, specialist in Turridae, has confirmed:
"The photo ... is a lovely Neodrillia cydia Bartsch, 1943. The spiral row of "dashes" are quite characteristic, but not always present. N. cydia is the most ubiquitous of drillias in the tropical western Atlantic, found in sand pockets in reefs, or on sandy flats." Phil |
