Epitonium scalare

中文百科

绮蛳螺

Imagen de la concha, de 1848
Description de l'image Wentletrap 001.jpg.

绮蛳螺(学名:Epitonium scalare),又名梯螺,是异腹足目海蛳螺科海蛳螺属的一种,主要分布于马来西亚、印度尼西亚、中国大陆、**,常栖息在浅海沙底。

绮蛳螺的壳长约为60毫米。

许多海蛳螺属物种的壳非常吸引人,并且其结构很有趣。然而绮蛳螺这个物种特别吸引人的原因部分是因为和大部分同属的物种相比,它的体积较大,而且还因为螺旋环本身并不相互接触,只是靠肋才连接在一起。

由于绮蛳螺的外壳如此精美,因此在18世纪的收藏家认为它的价值超过了红宝石,可以与金子媲美,并和钻石镶嵌在一起。

In the 17th and 18th century this was once considered to be a very rare shell and specimens changed hands for large sums of money. Johan de la Faille and Cosimo III de' Medici owned a wentletrap.
