Tritia djerbaensis
Aissaoui, Galindo, Puillandre & Bouchet, 2017
Gulf of Gabes, S. Tunisia.
Scavenger in the shallow infralittoral.
 
« Tritia djerbaensis sp. nov. superficially resembles the Gulf of Gabès form of T. corniculum named bedei by Pallary (1904) […]. Tritia djerbaensis sp. nov., however, can be separated by its more convex whorls, with deeper and channeled suture, and more numerous, broad axial ribs, and the more globose last teleoconch whorl. » – Aissaoui & al.: “The nassariids from the Gulf of Gabès revisited”, Marine Biology Research vol. XIII, may 2017, p.385.
