Gijs,
It seems that not all modern conchological literature generally accept Jung's revisionary placement of Terebellum terebellum in Seraphidae? In many cases the Terebellum is still grouped with Strombidae. Is it that Jung's paper is not well known, or is this revision considered controversial and rejected by some?

Dear Peter and others,
Over 25 years ago Terebellum terebellum was removed by Peter Jung from Strombidae to the family Seraphidae Gray, 1853.
[In fact, Peter Jung created a new name, Seraphsidae, as a new name for Terebellidae de Gregorio 1880, non Grube, 1851 a family of polychaete worms, obviously overlooking Gray's name]

Burton,
This shell is not in the family Olividae, but in Strombidae (yes, really!).
It is Terebellum terebellum (Linne, 1758) from the Indo-Pacific.

The shell pictured in the site below was apparently mis-identified, but I
cannot find anything quite like it among the Olividae. Would appreciate
help.
