[A101N71] Naquetia triqueter (Born, 1778)

Naquetia triqueter (Born, 1778) is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

Note: N. triqueter (Born, 1778) is difficult to separate from N. vokesae (Houart, 1986) expect by using its conical protoconch morphology consisting of 3.5 whorls, ending with a sinusigera terminal lip attesting to a planktotrophic larval development, compared to a lecithotrophic, rounded and paucispiral protoconch of 1.5 to 2 whorls in N. vokesae.
