CARD CATALOGUE OF

Pack #7 - TEREBRIDAE
Part I
Terebra dislocata Say.
Copyright 1975 by Sally Diana Kaicher
I am greatly indebted to Twila Bratcher, Dr.Richard
Kilburn (Natal Museum), Dr.Robert Robertson (ANSP),
Dr.Joseph Rosewater (USNM) and Carl Withrow for their
invaluable assistance, including the loan of special
material.
Many genera and subgenera have been proposed in the
Terebridae. However, until considerably more supportive
information becomes available on anatomical features and
reproductive characteristics, etc., it seems wisest
to employ only Terebra, Hastula and Impages.
The, protoconchs or nuclear whorls of as many species as
possible have been illustrated (at x30). Thesecan
be helpful in distinguishing "look-alike" species.avOTuaMS
