Info

Costasiella Pruvot-Fol, 1951

This undescribed sap-sucking snail is a frequently photographed species. Unfortunately, it has not yet been scientifically described. It can be confused with Stiliger ornatus, in which the black eyes (recognizable as black dots) are located behind the rhinophores, in Costasielle sp. The black eyes are located between the rhinophores.

Costasiella sp. is a sapsucker snail, about whose life unfortunately nothing is known.
