About a series of cylindrical shelled Granulina (Marginellidae) from north east Atlantic waters and the taxonomic organisation of the Granulininae
A series of tiny cylindrical shelled Granulina are reported as ranging off the North West African coasts, through the recent finding of several phenae. G. cylindrata sp. nov. is described from Senegal, the chromatism of its soft parts and the microsculpture of its shell are presented, as well as the...
