  Dear Listers,

  Today I received a pair of eight mm. marginellids, the ID of which is unknown to me.  Ther are pure white and remarkably similar in shape to the W. Atlantic Prunum apicinum except for the anteriorly displaced (of four) parietal fold and the presence of a distinct siphonal notch.  They were collected dead at Angelsea, Victoria, Australia according to the label.  I've been through a good many regional works as well as the marginellid literature and cannot come up with the ID - except that it is almost certainly in the genus Mesoginella.  It is also probably quite common; I have both a normal and sinistral shell!

  Email me privately if you have a clue.

  Harry
