Euspira montagui is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Distribution
This species occurs in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, European waters and the Mediterranean Sea.
Records of Euspira fusca, Euspira pallida and Euspira montagui are only known from older literature (de Malzine, 1867; Colbeau, 1868; Pelseneer, 1881; Maitland, 1897; Vonck, 1933). They are possibly completely or partly based on wrong identifications of fossil species that also occur at the Belgian coast.
