Cerithideopsilla conica is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Potamididae.[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Reid et al. (2008)[3] moved Potamides conicus to the genus Cerithideopsilla based on the molecular phylogeny research.[3] Other subsequent study also confirmed this placement within Cerithideopsilla.[1]

Distribution

[edit]

Distribution of Cerithideopsilla conica include Mediterranean and Indian Ocean.[3]

This species occurs in or around:

  • European waters[2]
  • Madagascar[2]
  • The Red Sea[2]

Description

[edit]

The shell can attain a length of 14 mm.has a siphonal notch in the lower margin of the opening and the shell is thick.

Ecology

[edit]
