Euchelus Asper
''Euchelus asper'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae.Bouchet, P. (2012). ''Euchelus asper'' (Gmelin, 1791). Retrieved through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=701781 on 2013-04-14 Description The size of the shell varies between 6 mm and 35 mm. The thick, conoidal shell is imperforate in adult specimens. Its color is dull ashen, dotted with brown, rosy, and black. The 5½-6 convex whorls are separated by profound sutures, the first one eroded, the rest rough. They are ornamented with close, granulose, unequal cinguli (the colored bands or spiral ornamentation), with two on the upper, and 3 or 4 on the body whorl more prominent. The penultimate whorl has 12-15 lirae. The globose body whorl is rounded, descending, and convex beneath. The aperture is ovate-rounded, the margins nearly continuous, plicated finely all around.

Euchelus Atratus
''Euchelus atratus'', common name the blackish margarite, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. Description The size of the shell varies between 5 mm and 21 mm. The solid, umbilicate shell has a globose-conic shape. Its color is black, brown, or grayish-pink, either unicolored or tessellated with dark spots. The conic spire is short. The sutures are deeply canaliculate. The 5-6 convex whorls are encircled by numerous equal, densely, finely beaded spiral ribs, with deep interstices, in each of which an interstitial riblet arises on the last part of the body whorl. The spiral ribs on the penultimate whorl number 7 to 9. On the body whorl they number 12, exclusive of the interstitial riblets. The convex body whorl is rounded, quite abruptly and decidedly descending at the aperture. The rounded aperture is strongly, finely sulcate inside. The columella is straight, with a small projecting tooth at base. The umbilicus is deep, ...

Euchelus Guttarosea
''Euchelus guttarosea'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. Description The height of the small shell attains 6 mm. Its color is all white. Or the upper surface of the whorls show very small distinct rose-red dots sparsely distributed over the white ground color on the raised nodules of the sculpture. The spire contains five or more inflated strongly sculptured whorls, and a smooth nucleus. The spiral sculpture of, on the upper surface of the last whorl, two small and two strong spiral alternated ribs, one of the smaller just below the suture; a large spiral on the periphery and four on the base. These are crossed by numerous obliquely radiating threads, which make the early whorls coarsely reticulate with nodules at the intersections, while in the later whorls the radiations become less marked and the spirals more numerous and more conspicuously nodulous. The whorls are rounded, while the apex is a little blunt. The suture i ...
