Polystira
''Polystira'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids. Taxonomy Paul Bartsch (1934) states the genus ''Polystira'' was created by W. P. Woodring in 1928 for certain large West Indian turrids. He named the largest of the recent species, generally known as ''Pleurotoma albida'' Perry, as type. Unfortunately, the mollusk so designated is not ''Pleurotoma albida'' Perry, which Perry states " is frequently found at New Zealand and Lord Howe Island." Perry's figure 4, plate 32, of this species does not agree with the West Indian material. It clearly resembles certain shells from North Australia in the collection of the National Museum. The name is, therefore, not applicable to the West Indian shell, which will have to carry the next available designation. Lamarck Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck (; ), was a French naturalist, biologist, ac ...

Polystira Albida
''Polystira albida'', common name white giant turris, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. Distribution ''P. albida'' can be found in Western Atlantic waters, ranging from the eastern coast of Florida south to Brazil. Description Shells of ''Polystira albida'' can reach a size of . These large shells are slender, fusiform, with a narrow and long aperture and a white external surface. Habitat These tropical benthic gastropods live at depths of 15 to 229 m. Life cycle Embryos develop into free-swimming planktonic marine larvae (trocophore A trochophore (; also spelled trocophore) is a type of free-swimming planktonic marine larva with several bands of cilia. By moving their cilia rapidly, they make a water eddy, to control their movement, and to bring their food closer, to captu ...) and later into juvenile veligers.
