The family Mitridae is represented by numerous, often common species in the Marshalls, and is one of two families usually referred to as miters (the other being Costellariidae, which is treated separately). Miters are carnivorous, with some species feeding on other mollusks and others on various groups of worms, including Sipunculids. We do not yet have photos of all species; more will be added when available.
