Unknown Murex
It is 33mm from Vera Cruz, Panama.
Can someone settle a little puzzle for me? I have these listed
as a Nassariidae: Bullia
tranquebarica (Roding, 1798). A very common
shell from the coastal waters of
India. This identification is from Wye,
"The Encyclopedia of Shells." However, other
books show a much less elongated shell as this species.
("Seashells of Eastern Arabia").
So, is it or is it not Bullia tranquebarica (Roding, 1798)??
