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).
