It is close to some Brazilian forms I've referred to E. demanorum de Jong and Coomans, 1988 [emendation of E. demani; sp.451 de Jong, K. M. and H. E. Coomans, 1988.

I have recently bought a copy of
de Jong, K. M. and H. E. Coomans, 1988. Marine gastropods from Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire.
as Volume LXIX of the Series "Studies on the Fauna of Curaçao and other Caribbean Islands" edited by Wagenaar Hummelinck & van der Steen, Foundation for Scientific Research in Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles, Amsterdam, 1998.
I wonder if it is the same book published also by E.J. Brill.
Number of pages and plates are almost the same.
Thanks,
Paolo
