Gymnobela Salinasi
''Gymnobela'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae. This genus can sometimes be hardly differentiated from species in the genera ''Spergo'' Dall, 1895, ''Theta'' Clarke, 1959 and ''Speoides yoshidae'' Kuroda & Habe in Habe, 1961 (a synonym of ''Gymnobela yoshidae'' (Kuroda & Habe, 1961) ) This genus is highly diverse. It is rather an artificial assemblage of several unrelated genus-level lineages that are unrelated and mostly undescribed. Description The rather solid shell is in form and general appearance like Bela. The spire is generally rather short. The body whorl is swollen. The whorls are often shouldered. The sculpture is rather strong. The protoconch has a fine cancellated sculpture. The subsutural band is not strongly marked. The posterior notch of the lip is shallow and usually not very distinct. The operculum is absent. Fossils have been found in Pliocene strata of Panama and Quaternary strata of Costa Rica (age range: 3.6 ...

Gymnobela Bairdii
''Gymnobela bairdii'', common name Baird's turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Raphitomidae. Description The length of the shell varies between 10 mm and 55 mm. (Original description) The large, rather stout shell has a fusiform shape. It shows an elevated, acute, turreted Spire (mollusc), spire and eight or nine obtusely shouldered, angular Whorl (mollusc), whorls. The body whorl is large and somewhat inflated, with a broad, flattened or a slightly concave, sloping subsutural band, which is covered with distinct, strongly receding lines of growth and with more or less evident, raised, spiral cinguli and grooves. Below the subsutural band the whorls are obtusely angulated, but without a distinct carina. Commencing at the shoulder and extending a short distance below it are numerous oblique, not very elevated, longitudinal ribs, which fade out before reaching the middle of the whorls. The whole surface of the whorls, inclu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lip (gastropod)
In the shell of gastropod mollusks (a snail shell), the lip is the free margin of the peristome (synonym: peritreme) or aperture (mollusc), aperture (the opening) of the gastropod shell. In dextral (right-handed) shells (most snail shells are right-handed), the right side or outer side of the aperture is known as the outer lip (''labrum''). The left side of the aperture is known as the inner lip or columellar lip (''labium'') if there is a pronounced lip there. In those species where there is no pronounced lip, the part of the body whorl that adjoins the aperture is known as the parietal wall. The outer lip is usually thin and sharp in immature shells, and in some adults (e.g. the land snails ''Helicella'' and ''Bulimulus''). However, in some other land snails and in many marine species the outer lip is ''thickened'' (also called ''callused''), or ''reflected'' (turned outwards). In some other marine species it is curled inwards (''inflected''), as in the cowries such as ''Cypraea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The body whorl is very ventricose. The suture is strongly impressed, often slightly channelled. The protoconch consists of two or three small, light chestnut-brown whorls, with very finely cancellated sculpture. The apical whorl is very small and regularly coiled.
