Photo of the day (25): Amphibulima
25-11-2008 13:56
Ad Hovestadt sent me a picture taken during his
recent trip to Dominica, West Indies. Although the
background is accidentally sharper than the shell,
this is probably a specimen of Amphibulima browni
Pilsbry, 1899.
It is one of those rare species that are seldomly collected, so it is fortunate to be pictured.
Thanks Ad!
Update: After examining the shell of this specimen Ad and I have come to the conclusion that it actually represents the very similar A. pardalina Guppy, 1868
