Harpa cabriti P. Fischer, 1860
Harpa cabriti is a shell snail in the family Harpidae, also known as harp snails. These snails have a right-handed shell with very strong axial ribs and a wide mouth. The short siphonal canal is formed by a shallow notch on the outer lip. Harpidae have no operculum to close the shell. They have separate sexes and there are planktonic larval stages.
Harpidae live in tropical waters on sandy surfaces and feed on decapod crustaceans. It is assumed that they mucus their prey and then digest it.
