Caribbonus styria
species of mollusc
Caribbonus styria is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the family Costellariidae, the ribbed miters.
Description
The length of the shell attains 19 mm, its diameter 5 mm.
(Original description) The shell is pale yellowish, white, or pinkish, sometimes with a faint peripheral brownish band, or mottled brown and white. The shell is elongated, acute, cancellately sculptured. The protoconch is elongated, pointed, glassy, pale brownish, smooth, consisting of about three and a half whorls. The other whorls number 10-14. They are subconvex, with a distinct but not channelled suture. The axial sculpture shows about (on the body whorl) 25 slightly flexuous regular narrow even transverse ribs separated by wider interspaces, extending clear over the whorl. The spiral sculpture shows (behind the suture about 6-10) even threads, separated by squarely channelled narrower interspaces, crossing the ribs and with a tendency to form a nodule at the intersection. The siphonal canal is rather slender, with seven or eight strong spiral threads externally, which are crossed only by incremental lines.

Why this record matters
“Caribbonus styria” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Caribbonus, styria and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3138289. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
