Erronea bregeriana (Crosse, 1868)
Breger's cowry

We saw a fair number of Erronea bregeriana on a single night dive drifting down the (possibly) crocodile-infested Mboli channel that runs through the two main islands of the Florida group (Nggele). We never saw a croc there, but when we returned to the Solomons for a second trip a few years later, the divemaster aboard the Spirit of Solomons said there were definitely salt water crocodiles in the thick mangroves that lined the channel.
