Dear colleagues and friends Carlo and I are making a revision of the verticordiid genera Spinosipella and Euciroa. We still need more material from these genera from any place and of all kinds (shells, preserved, photos, etc.). Our more urgent necessities are: 1) A truly specimen of the species “Spinosipella (or Verticordia) acuticostata”, types, topotypes, information on the depository (the author is Philippi, 1844, a fossil from Calabria, Italy). 2) To know if someone is studding these genera, mainly Euciroa from Indo-Pacific. 3) To borrow any specimen with soft parts for anatomy. I thank you in advance for the cooperation. Best wishes, Luiz ___________________________________________ Luiz Ricardo L. Simone, Ph. D. Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo Cx.
