Tibia insulaechorab, common name the Arabian tibia, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Rostellariidae. It is native to the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.[1]

Taxonomy

This species was first described by the German malacologist Peter Friedrich Röding in 1798, the type locality being the Red Sea. He gave it the name Tibia insulaechorab; it was at first included in the family Strombidae, but this large family was later split and the genus Tibia was transferred to the family Rostellariidae. A 2005 study by Sabine, concluded that Tibia was probably closely related to Terebellum, there being several well known morphological similarities between them.[2]

Description

The shell can grow to a length of 200 mm (8 in), and the live snail can weigh about 450 g (16 oz).[3][4]
