Hi Bill:

You were right on Katia's message #15125: She sent me the radula. Clearly a Cuthona.

Be well,
Dave

Dear Bill:

I found this species in northern Peru. I´m not sure about what species it is. It was about 5 mm in length, and was found at 5-7 m depth.

Your opinion will be very helpful.
Thank you.
Katia.

Dear Katia,
It looks like a species of Cuthona, but I am not sure if it has name. Perhaps someone with knowledge of the fauna can help
Best wishes,
