Needed: specimens of any and all Ellobiidae, but ESPECIALLY Signia
striata (often incorrectly placed in Melampus) from the tropical west
Pacific...
Purpose: anatomical and DNA work.
Specimens need to be relaxed in seawater with magnesium chloride
(which totally anesthetizes them) and dropped into 70% and 90%
ethanol.
If someone is prepared to collect specimens, I can send ethanol and
magnesium chloride...
