Leucorhynchia tricarinata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae. [1]
The size of the shell varies between 2 mm and 4 mm. The white shell is much depressed and contains three whorls. The apex has a papillary form and is sunk in the spire. The periphery is tricarinate with the middle keel strongly, squarely built and bold and projecting further from the whorl than the two other keels. The spiral crenellae run round the sutures and round the callosity of the peristome. This is tongue-shaped and conceals almost the umbilicus. [2]
This marine species occurs in the intertidal and adjacent subtidal zones off Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Queensland, Australia, Tuvalu, the Loyalty Islands and the Philippines.

Kermia caletria is a species of sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae. Measuring a length of 4.5 mm, with a 1.5 mm diameter, the beautiful species is white and slightly ochraceous at the sutures. It contains seven whorls, turreted, two smooth whorls being apical, finely and regularly clathrate. The aperture is sinuously-oblong. The crenulate outer lip is simple within. The columellar margin is minutely toothed towards the base. The sinus is wide. The siphonal canal is a little produced. There is a very pale ochraceous band round the middle of the body whorl, as at the sutures. The sinus is deeply cut behind. At the sutural margin of the outer lip is a bright ochraceous thickened callus.
