Hi
Thanks very much for the very useful info on Recluzia that you sent me. The
info I received was all about West Indies, Atlantic species. Mine are from
Australia. Anyone know the Superfamily/family of the species?
After much trading I now also have a fine collection of Janthina which
include the following:
Janthina balteata Röding Japan Kushimoto
Janthina exigua Lamarck USA Surfside beach, Texas
Janthina globosa Swainson Africa Natal, South Africa
Janthina globosa Swainson Japan Kushimoto
Janthina globosa Swainson USA Florida
Janthina janthina Linne Cyprus Ayia Thekla
Janthina janthina Linne Cyprus Cape Andreas
Janthina janthina Linne Australia Frazer Island
Janthina janthina Linne Australia Frazer Island
Janthina janthina Linne Jordan Aqaba
Janthina janthina Linne USA Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Janthina pallida Harvey Spain Malaga
Janthina pallida Thompson USA Florida
Janthina violacea Röding New Zealand Munriwai beach
My library give three species exigua, globosa and exigua although my Med.
Sea Shells Cyprus mentions fragilis Lam. Is there anyone out there who can
cast their eyes over my list and say whether some of the above are the same
specie with a different name. For instance I cannot confirm or deny the
author of pallida as Harvey or Thompson. Of course I cannot definitely
identify all of the above myself and do not currently have a scanner. Give
us a hand folks. Please help me!!!
Thanks in advance
Ed
