Anachis aliceae

Anachis aliceae is a species of sea snail in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.

Description

(Original description in French) This species differs from Anachis aurantia <small>(Lamarck, 1822)</small> by its less acute spire, its larger apex, and its more numerous, larger, more salient, and more widely spaced granulations. Anachis aurantia also has each of its whorls bordered by a white ridge, which is absent in A. aliceae.

Finally, the coloration of the two shells is quite different: A. aliceae is a beautiful clear honey yellow, while Anachis aurantia is a beautiful pink.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Alboran Sea off Algeria.
