Phenacovolva brunneiterma

Photograph taken by Wolfgang Krutz taken in Bali, Indonesia

This is probably Phenacovolva weaveri Thanks to Dr. Richard C. Willan, his comment: It is rather difficult to give names to ovulids without accompanying photos of the shell. Here are my guesses at names for the species in the photos, but I’m not an expert on ovulids.
