Labiostrombus Epidromis, known as a swan wing snail (English: Swan Conch), was first described by Linnaeus in 1758 and belongs to the family of the Strombidae (wing snails, English: True Conchs). These marine dwellers reach a maximum length of about 9.5 cm and are widespread in the tropical waters of the central Indopazacific, including Japan (Ryūkyū-Islands), Australia and New Caledonia. The snail case is characterized by its elegant, wing -like shape.
