CARD CATALOGUE OF WORLD-WIDE SHELLS 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 56S White; to approx. 4omm.
