Awateria
''Awateria'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Borsoniidae.Rosenberg, G.; Bouchet, P. (2012). Awateria. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=432412 on 2012-06-28 Most species in this genus have become extinct. Description In general shape and sculpture the type of this genus is reminiscent of ''Arcularia'' Link, 1807 (synonym of '' Nassarius'' Duméril, 1805), the protoconch is comparatively large. The fasciole runs between the wreath of subsutural nodules and the upright ribs. The canal is short, wide, and effuse. From '' Epideira'' Hedley, 1918, to which, it seems to be related, the larger protoconch, few and rapidly increasing whorls, the subcylindrical form and the shallow sinus of ''Awateria'' readily distinguish it. Species Species within the genus ''Awateria'' include: * '' Awateria crossei'' (Smith E. A., 1891) * † '' Awateria defossa'' Powell, 1942 * † '' Awateria ...

Awateria Optabilis
''Awateria optabilis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.Marshall, B.; Rosenberg, G. (2015). ''Awateria optabilis (R. Murdoch & Suter, 1906).'' In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=598990 on 2016-02-10 Description The length of the shell attains 10.7 mm, its breadth 3.9 mm. (Original description) The small, narrow shell has a turriculate shape with an angle of spire, about 22°. The body whorl is shorter than the spire. The shell is clathrate. The aperture is pyriform. The canal is short. Sculpture: The spire-whorls contain three spiral equidistant cords, which are crossed by longitudinal also equidistant threads, forming small beads at the intersections, and squarish interstitial depressions. There are about twenty-one beads on a row. On approaching the base the spirals are getting narrower than the interspace, and the beading les ...

Awateria Crossei
''Awateria crossei'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.WoRMS (2015). Awateria crossei (E. A. Smith, 1891). In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=433094 on 10 February 2016 Description The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its breadth 3.75 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell has a fusiform shape. It contains seven whorls. The top ones are left-handed and convex, the others slightly concave above the rest, with rounded angles. It contains about 15 diagonal riblets that are less attenuated in the last whorls. The aperture is small. The angle on top of the lip is not deeply sinuated. This species has the whorls much contracted at the lower part and prominent at the rounded angle. The riblets are oblique below, and flexuous in the concavity. The spiral lirae are more conspicuous around the lower part of the body whorl t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Awateria Hoylei
''Awateria hoylei'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.WoRMS (2015). Awateria hoylei (E. A. Smith, 1891). In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=433095 on 10 February 2016 Description The length of the shell attains 9 mm, its breadth 3.5 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell has a fusiform shape. It contains eight whorls.with the top ones obliquely concave, the middle ones obtusely angulated and narrowing within the angle and barely convex. The riblets are obliquely zigzag, especially at the corners (disappearing gradually above and below). The aperture is small. The anal sinus is of mediocre depth. The costae in this species are very short, and soon become obsolete above and below the angle, so that they appear like a series of oblique nodules. The absence of spiral sculpture is peculiar.

Awateria Watsoni
''Awateria watsoni'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.WoRMS (2015). Awateria watsoni (E. A. Smith, 1891). In: MolluscaBase (2015).

(Original description) This small, white shell has a short fusiform shape. It has a large smooth apex. The upper slope of the six whorls is comparatively smooth, exhibiting only a few (about 4) faint spiral lirae, and the lower portion and the greater part of the body whorl are covered with a distinct cancellation, the points of intersection of the oblique and transverse lirae being rather acutely nodulose. The sinus is moderately deep. The arcuate lip is prominent. Distribution This marine species is endemic Endemism is the state of a species being found in a single defined geogra ...

Awateria Retiolata
''Awateria retiolata'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae.Marshall, B. (2015). Awateria retiolata L. C. King, 1933 †. In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=831589 on 2016-02-11 Description The length of the shell attains 10 mm, the width 4.5 mm. The spire is high, times the height of the aperture. The shell has whorls. The small, thin shel lhas a turreted shape. The protoconch is worn. The sculpture consists of, on the spire-whorls, of axial ribs reaching from the shoulder to the suture. The shell is inclined steeply to the left. The interspaces have the same width as the ribs. The whorls of the spire contain four spiral cords, the upper two the stronger, cross the axials below the shoulder, giving a reticulate sculpture to the spire. The shoulder is smooth and concave. The body whorl has spiral sculpture only. The up ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
