Wanted: shell of cf. Edentulina

[wolf]

Hi,
to confirm a hypothesis of genus determination I need an empty (!) specimen of a predatory snail from Africa which is similar to Amphidromus at first glance (but not at all related to it). It might belong to the family Streptaxidae, genus Edentulina.
If anyone could help me, I would be glad .
Bye: wolf

hello Wolf,

1.
they ARN'T similar to Amphidromus!

2.
they ARE Edentulina (2 species of them)

3.
Why don't ask you me for this?

I agree, they are Edentulina. I had this confirmed by an expert at my local museum.

Hi, Kevin!
Thanks a lot for confirming my suggestion about the genus. Now I have to look closer concerning the species...... .
Thanks and bye: wolf
