| Floscularia janus; the adult lives in a tube made out of detritus pills. In contrast to Floscularia ringens the pills are bigger and not as regularly orientated. The four-lobed corona (only two lobes are visble in this image) is notched anteriorly (arrow), which is in contrast to Ptygura pilula. (1) |
