Thanks Marcus, yes, the profile of the first does closely match with P.
nexa. I was leaning towards Daphnella because of the reduced sculpturing.
Doesn't make me think of Philbertia. But I guess your right.

P. nexa is a gorgeous species and I've been lucky to find a couple. They
appear to be rare on Guam. Even managed to get some shots of the animal too:

I suspect that I'll have to settle on having a bunch of turrids awaiting a
names.

Cheers,
Bob

The first one seems to be a Philbertia (see this one from Harry's page:
http://www.jaxshells.org/nexa.htm)

The second looks like a Lienardia indeed (beautiful one!)
