Dear Luiz
An Amauropsis species (A. islandica) is presented in Iceland. I'll give you the e-mail of Pall Einarsson,
who probably can organize you some specimens. I only have three dead shells in the collection.

Dear colleagues and friends
I have studied AMAUROPSIS and am realizing that possibly it is not a
naticid. I do need more material of any species of this genus with soft
parts preserved for additional anatomical study.
Thank you in advance.
Luiz
