Phalium Decipiens
''Phalium'', common name the bonnet shells, is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Phaliinae of the family Cassidae, the helmet shells, bonnet shells and their allies. MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Phalium Link, 1807. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137749 on 2022-01-02 Taxonomy Abbott (1968) held a very comprehensive concept of the genus ''Phalium'', to include all the species of the subfamily Phaliinae except those included in ''Casmaria'' H.& A. Adams, 1853. Current authors (Alf, 1997; Beu, 2008) would include in ''Phalium'' only those species which have varixes all along the spire and have spines around the outer edge of the terminal varix as in ''Casmaria''. Species with predominantly spiral sculpture and with only a terminal varix without spines are currently classified in ''Semicassis'' Mörch, 1852 but often cited under ''Phalium''.

Scotch Bonnet (sea Snail)
The Scotch bonnet (''Semicassis granulata'') is a medium-sized to large species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Cassinae, the helmet shells and bonnet shells. The common name "Scotch bonnet" alludes to the general outline and color pattern of the shell, which vaguely resemble a tam o' shanter, a traditional Scottish bonnet or cap. The shell is egg-shaped and fairly large, in maximum dimension, with a regular pattern of yellow, orange or brown squarish spots. The surface sculpture of the shell is highly variable: the surface can be smooth and polished, have grooves, be granulated, or even be nodulose on the shoulder of the whorls. This species lives intertidally and subtidally on sandy substrates, and is found primarily in the tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic Ocean, from North Carolina to Uruguay. It is the most common species in this subfamily in North America. A similar-appearing sea snail in the Mediterranean Sea and Northern Atlantic ...
