Another one for the micromollusk fans out there! Here are some of the vitrinellas in the microgastropod family Teinostomatidae from Southwest Florida: 1 – High-spired Vitrinella (Teinostoma altum); 2 – Biscayne Vitrinella (Teinostoma biscaynense); 3 – Keeled -base Vitrinella (Teinostoma carinicallus); 4 – Hidden-spire Vitrinella (Teinostoma cryptospira); 5 – Uncertain Vitrinella (Teinostoma incertum); 6 – Glossy Vitrinella (Teinostoma obtectum); 7 – Small-callus Vitrinella (Teinostoma parvicallum). (The family Teinostomatidae is closely related to the Tornidae; check out the tornids of Southwest Florida here.)
The individual shell photos are not at the same scale. And, as usual, click on each scientific name to see the relevant entries and the differences among them in our Southwest Florida Shells guide.
