Two days I ago I sent you another couple of malacology, but I didn't any question back.
Or did everybody understand it.

Mamma and Hygro

Helmut Nisters

explanation: My idea of that was the following: Only Hygro is shell related as is should be read
Hygromia. With Mamma I didn't mean my mother, but what the Italian say: Mammamia.
So the ending is a couple of mia.
Mamma - mia
Hygro - mia
so it should be read Mammamia and Hygromia
but the pronouncation of mia is different.
with best shelling greetings
Helmut
