I there
 
I have collected at Sao Miguel, Azores (North Atlantic) at about 14m, a
white/translucent shell, protoconch yellowish, (4,0mm x 2,0mm) that I
tentatively identified as Philine desmotis Watson, 1897 (CEPHALASPIDEA:
PHILINIDAE) (I can't send the picture as attach, because this message would
exceed the 250 lines allowed, so anybody that is able to give me a hand,
please mail me and I'll send to you the drawings).
In the Azores (Mikkelsen, 1995), there are 6 species of
Philine:
approximans Dautzenberg & Fischer, 1896
azorica Bouchet, 1975
?lima Brown, 1827
monilifera Bouchet, 1975
quadrata (S. Wood, 1839)
rugulosa Dautzenberg & Fischer, 1896.
 
Can anybody give me a help?
Thanks.
 
Best wishes
