The Western Atlantic species in question either are not listed in, or have
inaccurate information in, the current world record list. The following are
the largest known records I know of:
Latirus varai 70.0 mm (Bullock 1970)
Perotrochus midas 127.5 mm (Anseeuw & Goto 1996)
Perotrochus pyramus 63.5 mm (Anseeuw & Goto 1996)
Calliostoma springeri 39 mm (Clench & Turner 1960).
