The pictures #1 and #2 were posted on 13 July 2004 at these website as Liloa sp. A Genus: Pilsbry, 1921, the specimen of picture #3 was identified by Clay Carlson, and the specimen of picture #5 was identified by Trond R. Oskars, thanks to both of them! I changed this species on 6 October 2011 into Liloa curta (A. Adams in Sowerby, 1850) [Bulla] Let me quote Micali (2014):"Studying the specimens of Liloa curta (A. Adams in Sowerby, 1850) collected in the Great Bitter Lake, it became clear that Bulla mongii is based on an immature specimen of the species known as L. curta. The shell profile varies with the growth, as the sculpture, which is more evident in small specimens. As the Audouin’s name is much older than Adams ‘s name, then the new combination Liloa mongii (Audouin, 1826) is here proposed." I changed it again on 17 April 2018 into Liloa mongii (Audouin, 1826) [Bulla]. Reference: Micali P. (2014). On the presence of Notodiaphana atlantica Ortea, Moro et Espinosa, 2013 in the Mediterranen Sea, with notes on Retusa multiquadrata Oberling, 1970 and Cylichna mongii (Audouin, 1826) (Cephalaspidea Cylichnidae).
