Iredalea
''Iredalea'' is a small genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Drilliidae. This genus was named in 1915 by Walter Oliver after Tom Iredale (1880–1972), an English-born naturalist who lived mainly in Australia. Fossil species have been found in Pliocene strata of Italy and in Miocene strata of Indonesia; age range: 5.332 to 2.588 Ma. Description The narrow, solid and turreted shell has a fusiform shape. The protoconch consists of 4 whorls, with a sinusigera apex. The shell is axially sculptured by numerous slender and continuous riblets. The aperture measures about a third of the length of the shell. The short siphonal canal is wide. The anal sinus is deep and broad, separated from the body whorl by a callosity. A brown band on the periphery is a usual feature. Species Species within the genus ''Iredalea'' include: * '' Iredalea adenensis'' Morassi & Bonfitto, 2013 * '' Iredalea agatha'' (W.H. Dall, 1918) * '' Iredalea balteata'' (A.A. Gould, 1860) * ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Most species have a dorsal varix (mollusc), varix (transverse elevation), except in the genera ''Cymatosyrinx'', ''Elaeocyma'' and ''Splendrillia''. The protoconch can be smooth or very carinate. The ovate operculum (gastropod), operculum has a terminal nucleus. The radula of the species in this family have characteristically five teeth in each row (formula : 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + ...
