Dear planet
What is the exact (if this could exist) range of the Turrid Crassopleura
maravignae (Bivona in Bivona, 1838).
I read "Atlantic & Mediterranean", but what is included in this "Atlantic" ?

An other question: many European Turrids & other fam. range from "Norway to
Mediterranean", with a hole in the distribution around the Channel & the North
Sea ; the ranges often run off the western coasts of British Isles, & avoid the
waters from Nederland to Normandy.  Any idea to explain such a hole ?

Thanks everybody!!
