Iredalea
''Iredalea'' is a small genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), 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 Whorl (mollusc), whorls, with a sinusigera Apex (mollusc), apex. The shell is axially sculptured by numerous slender and continuous riblets. The Aperture (mollusc), 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 agatho' ...

Iredalea Subtropicalis
''Iredalea subtropicalis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Drilliidae. Description The length of an adult shell varies between 4.5 mm and 6 mm; its diameter 2.2 mm. (Original description) The narrow, fusiform shell is truncated anteriorly. The Aperture (mollusc), aperture measures one-third the length of the shell. The shell contains 9 Whorl (mollusc), whorls, of which the protoconch forms four. The whorls are flatly rounded and with an impressed suture. The smooth protoconch is sinusigera in form, the exposed portion of its lower lip concave. The Aperture (mollusc), aperture is narrow oblong, obliquely angled behind, truncated in front. The outer Lip (gastropod), lip is thick and smooth within. The anal sinus is deep, separated from the body whorl by a thick callous ridge. Columella smooth within. The siphonal canal is short and wide.

Iredalea Balteata
''Iredalea balteata'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae. This species was first described by Augustus Addison Gould in 1860, who was an American malacologist. Description The length of the shell attains 4 mm. The ''Iredalea balteata'' has a small, elongated shell that is a length of approximately 4 millimeters. The original description in Latin read: The shell is small, rhombic, elongated, and glossy, with a straw-yellow color and a tawny stripe. It has seven whorls. The first three whorls are smooth, while the remaining whorls are marked with fine, lyre-like grooves and a line just below the suture. The areas between these grooves have crosswise striations. The aperture is narrowly crescent-shaped, and the lip is simple. The shell is slender and fusiform with ribs and fine spiral striations. It is typically light in color with darker bands, which is why it is named "balteata" which translates to "belted" in Latin. Distributi ...

Iredalea Theoteles
''Iredalea theoteles'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.Bouchet, P. (2015). Iredalea theoteles (Melvill & Standen, 1896). In: MolluscaBase (2015). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=595778 on 2016-10-14 Description The length of the shell is about 3.5 mm, and its diameter is about 1.75 mm. This very small shell has some slight resemblance to '' Mangilia thepalea'' Melvill & Standen, 1896 (a taxon inquirendum). The nodulous papillae are, however, much larger in proportion to the size of the shell, and, in consequence, fewer. The upper whorls are closely tubercled, shining white. The four rows—two on the penultimate, two on the last whorl—are approximate, and the space contained by them is banded with ochre, the white shining nodules standing out more prominently. The aperture is narrow and oblong. The anal sinus is deep. The outer lip is much thick ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
