Dear Marcus,

I think all the varieties you showed, except perhaps the one from Guarapari, are turbinella. I've got an unnamed species from off
Sarasota FL and there are at least three others (Harry Lee has info too.) I haven't seen any "caribbaea".

Where the holotype (or paratype) of Engina turbinella is deposited? This is a very confusing species...

What about Engina caribbaea? Is it valid?
