Drillia
''Drillia'' is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Drilliidae. General characteristics The shell is turriculated, with an elevated spire, longitudinal ribs, and usually revolving striae. The spiral sculpture of the shell is rather smooth or shows a wide spacing of incised lines. The body whorl is usually short. The columella has a posterior callus. The outer lip is thick, but not varicose, nor dentate within, flexuous, with a well-marked posterior anal sinus near (but not reaching) the suture, and an anterior constriction or sinuosity. The siphonal canal is short, curved and usually narrow. Some species show an interrupted pink banding. The animal has tentacles approaching at their bases and eyes near their extremities. Species Species within the genus ''Drillia'' include: * '' Drillia acapulcana'' (Lowe, 1935) * '' Drillia adusta'' (G.B. I Sowerby, 1834) * † '' Drillia aegyptiaca'' Cossmann, 1901 * ''Drillia aerope'' (Dall, 1919) * ''Drilli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Drillia Albicostata
''Drillia albicostata'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae. Description The shell grows to a length of 22 mm. The shell is rose-colored, the longitudinal ribs are white, close-set. There is no spiral sculpture. The aperture In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. An opt ... is callous above.

Drillia Aerope
''Drillia aerope'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae. Description The shell grows to a length of 16 mm. (Original description) The small, acute shell is whitish. It has a polished, smooth, trochiform protoconch of about 2½ whorls. The teleoconch contains the subsequent eight or more whorls. The suture is distinct and slightly appressed. The anal fasciole is slightly constricted. The spiral sculpture consists of sharp narrow grooves, with much wider flat smooth interspaces. There are about eleven of the grooves on the body whorl between the shoulder and the spirally threaded siphonal fasciole. The anal fasciole is not spirally striate. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 10) sharp-edged ribs, with wider interspaces, compressed and arcuate on the anal fasciole, nearly vertical elsewhere and extending over the whole whorl, but not continuous over the spire. The incremental lines are inconspicuous. The aperture ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
