Dear Scott,

In Tom Rice catalogue I found a Amoria rinkensi Poppe, 1986 from
W-Australia with following
informations: 74 mm  w.o. $ 85.-- not offered during past year. Could it be
a Amoria.
As I remember me Joe Rinkens has been an Australian dealer.
with best shelling greetings.

Hello all,

I have a specimen from an old collection labeled as Teramachia rinkseni (no
author indicated), family Volutidae.  It is a white, slender Volute or
Turrid from Western Australia.  I find no record of this nomen, can anyone
point me in the right direct?
