Note
Tricolia landinii Bogi et Campani, 2007, is here reviewed on the basis of both shell morphology
and observations of the living animals. This taxon, is here ascertained, it was described on the
basis of only shell characters of young specimens, without the study of external soft parts. New
data about adult shell morphology, living animal and distribution of this minute species are
here furnished, together with a detailed iconography. On the basis of these characters T. landinii
appears more similar to the T. tingitana group, rather than to T. nordsiecki, as underlined in the
original description. In the light of the adult shell morphology here reported and of the living
animal’s features, a complete analysis of the entire group of this “small Tricoliaâ€, with comparisons
to the close resembling species, is here furnished.
