Dear friends
    I thank Ellen and Harry for the interest on my work. As Harry said,
I am performing a morphological study, focusing the Caenogastropoda.
However, some of the Ellen questions I will not be responded with my
study, since they demand field and ecological studies that I have not
made on this group. I have studied 3 xenophorid species among the
stromboidean sample of 21 species, and have obtained several interesting
data. According to my results, the xenophorids are actually
stromboideans, closer to the strombids than the remainder previously
considered stromboidean groups (aporrhaids and struthiolariids). The
paper has been accepted for publication and I hope it will be available
soon. I am, anyway, available for any further questions.
    Best wishes
    Luiz
