Bursidae sp. 1
41mm

Bursidae sp. 1 is rare in the Marshalls, known from only a few specimens. All living specimens were found under rocks or sand on the seaward reef at depths of 6 to 20m. Our specimens are reminiscent of Lampasopsis rhodostoma and Bursa lamarckii but differ in external scupture, development of the anal canal, aspects if the black aperture.
