Murichorda sp. 1
20.75mm

These are sometimes figured as Muricodrupa fiscella or earlier as Cronia triangulata (in Cernohorsky (1978)). Our specimens are shorter and proportionally wider than what we are calling Murichroda fischellum, and lack the deep, dark stained depressions between the axial ribs and spiral chords. However, there appears to be some variation in shell morphology, and it is possible they are the same species. These are moderately common under rocks on lagoon and pinnacle reefs.
