Dasyskenea suavis
Fasulo & Cterella, 2003
Western and central Mediterranean, maybe also in the eastern part, at least in the low circalittoral.
 
The shell of suavis differs from that of dibellai by its more numerous and close-set radials, much less elevated than in the latter. The original description of the genus being based on that of suavis, we refer you to the Skeneidae page to take note of it. Above: a specimen from the NW. Mediterranean, collected at 163m deep, off Menorca, Illes Balears. Size: 1,1mm.
