Petite coquille peu commune en collection et un nom curieux: Prodotia iostoma ou iostomus. Difficile a identifier avec certitude mais je n' ai pas trouvé mieux! Originaire de l' Océan Indien mais obtenue à la Bourse mondiale et annuelle de l' AFC (2009). Cette forme serait de Malaysie; celle des côtes Africaines (Canal du Mozambique, Réunion) n' aurait pas de côtes longitudinales. Taille: 21 mm.
