Dear colleagues and friends
I am developing a revision of the genus Gaza (Trochidae). For finishing
successfully this study I need your help in the following items:

1) Gaza rathbuni Dall, 1890, from Galapagos. I need a fully developed specimen.
The type specimen, the single one that I examined, is young. It has not the
peristome and the umbilical flap developed, and these structures are very
important to the genus systematics. (Even a photo helps)

2) Any Gaza specimen with soft parts preserved, for anatomical proposes.

Thank you in advance, Luiz
