''Scaphella junonia'', common names the junonia, or Juno's volute, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes. This species lives in water from 29 m to 126 m depth in the tropical Western Atlantic.〔 Because of its deepwater habitat, the shell usually only washes up onto beaches after strong storms, or hurricanes. The species is named after the ancient Roman goddess Juno. ==Distribution== ''Scaphella junonia'' is found throughout Florida to Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.〔 * A subspecies, ''Scaphella junonia johnstoneae'', is found off of Alabama〔 and is the state shell of that state. * Another subspecies, ''Scaphella junonia butleri'', is found off of the Yucatan.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scaphella junonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
