Comment Liverani :
 Gibberulus gibberulus (Linnaeus, 1758); Protoconch; Gulf of Aqaba, Jordan; Coll. Klaus Bandel  Fully grown larva of Gibberulus gibberulus (Linnaeus, 1758); Protoconch; Gulf of Aqaba, Jordan; Coll. Klaus Bandel The larval shell of Gibberulus gibberulus consists 4.5 whorls with shell width of almost 1 mm and a height of 1.1 mm. The embryonic shell is 0.16 mm wide and is ornamented with complex rows of fused granules. The first larval whorl is densely covered by granules. The transition to the second larval whorl is characterized by the onset of faint spiral lines and decrease of granular ornamentation. Spiral lines become the dominant sculpture of the two youngest larval whorls. The aperture is almost oval in outline with a distinct siphonal notch. The operculum seals the aperture tightly, and has a thorn-like anterior spine that fits in the siphonal notch. The nucleus of the operculum lies close to the anterior (basal) part of the columella and shows remains of spiral growth, whereas later growth increments are concentric. The larva swims with a six-lobed velum. Each velar lobe is almost twice as long as the conch. The larval conchs have a spherical, smooth appearance, and a more-or-less transparent shell. The larva carries the shell in such a way that the head with tentacles and eyes point in swimming direction and long narrow foot with operculum is held in behind. In the mantle cavity a large ciliated organ is seen representing the gill or osphradium.
