Richard Salisbury and I need a copy of the type figure of Mitra
(Strigatella) paupercula Linne., 1758. It was refered to Gaultieri 1742
plate 54, Fig. L. Probably in Index Testarum Conchyliorum Quae 1725.
We would appreciate an Email copy with full reference. This regards the
type species for Mitra (Strigatella) where we are having a problem with
several very similar shells that have different animals. For use in
IHSN "Living Mitridae" series of articles.
