Aforia Circinata
''Aforia circinata'', common name the ridged turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The shell grows to a length of 75 mm. The slender, elongate shell is covered with a brownish epidermis. There are six evenly rounded whorls, but with a sharp carina, above which they are smooth, whilst below it they are grooved, with wider interspaces. The anal sinus is deep, about one-third of the way from the carina to the suture. (Original description) The shell is slender, elongate and covered with a brownish epidermis. It contains six whorls , with a single, sharp, narrow carina, about the middle of the whorl in the upper whorls. This carina does not interrupt the even rotundity of the whorls so as to produce any flattening of the latter, but appears as if it had been placed upon the equator of the whorl, after the latter had been completed. The posterior surface of the carina and that part of the whorls behind it, are des ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aforia Goodei
''Aforia goodei'', common name Goode's turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. Description The length of the shell varies between 50 mm and 90 mm. (Original description) The shell is large and thin. Its color is white, with a tinge of pale orange in the throat and on the columella. It contains eight (or more) whorls, the protoconch wanting in the specimens. The surface is generally slightly eroded, glistening when perfect. The spiral sculpture below the periphery consists of narrow shallow grooves separating wider, half obsolete threads. At the periphery is an obtuse carina which is sharper on the early whorls. Behind this is a wide shallow sulcus, behind which the whorl rounds to the distinct but unchannelled suture. On the upper or posterior part of the whorl the fine spirals are perceptible but fainter than in front of the periphery. The transverse sculpture consists only of incremental lines. The aperture ...

Aforia Goniodes
''Aforia goniodes'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The shell size varies between 40 mm and 85 mm (Original description) The high, narrow shell has a biconical shape. It is subscalar, with a long, unconstricted base and a subequal-sided snout, angulated with an expressed keel, and with regular fine spiral threads all over. The axial sculpture consists of only fine, regular, close, hair-like line of growth. The spiral sculpture shows in the middle of each whorl a strong angulation formed by the straight drooping line of the shoulder and the straight contracting line down to the inferior suture. The angulation is pinched out into a sharp round-edged keel. There are fine sharpish threads on the whole surface pretty equally distributed and of equal strength. Of these there are on the penultimate whorl below the keel about six. They are parted by flat broadish intervals, strongly scored with the lines of growt ...

Cochlespiridae
Cochlespiridae is a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea. This family is not well differentiated morphologically, and there is poor congruence between the molecular and shell characters. Its limits are uncertain. Even the contents of most of the genera are in need of revision. The family is composed of some genera that used to belong to the subfamily Cochlespirinae, in the family Turridae. This family has no subfamilies. General characteristics This family consists of moderately sized shells, usually between 20 and 30 mm, but in ''Nihonia maxima'' the length of shell can reach 128 mm. The shell of ''Aforia magnifica'' even reaches 150 mm. The shell is turriculated and fusiform with a long, sharp Spire (mollusc), spire. Axial Sculpture (mollusc), sculpture is absent or feebly developed. The Aperture (mollusc), aperture is ovate. The Columella (gastropod), columellar mar ...
