Ceriths of Southwest Florida

Here is yet another episode of the “Family Pages” series: There at least six species of ceriths (family Cerithiidae) along the coast of Southwest Florida; here they are: 1 – Grass Cerith (Bittiolum varium); 2 – Dark Cerith (Cerithium atratum); 3 – Ivory Cerith (Cerithium eburneum); 4 – Stocky Cerith (Cerithium litteratum); 5 – Variable Cerith (Cerithium lutosum); 6 – Fly Speck Cerith (Cerithium muscarum). The individual photos are not at the same scale. Click on each scientific name to see the relevant entries and the differences among them in our Southwest Florida Shells guide.
