Would one of you Latin wizards please help me to pronounce "Trigonostoma"?
Is it
"Tri go NOS to ma"  or maybe  "Tri GON os to ma" or maybe ?????  Are there
generally accepted guidelines for pronunciation?
 
I often find that when I pronounce shell names in "Texan" people tend to
look at me with a quizzical look.  Just wondering...
