Euthymella? cf lutea Kosuge, 1962
5.0mm

This ID is very tentative. Our single small specimen looks like the one figured by Kay (1979) as Triphora lutea. The World Register of Marine Species says the genus should be Euthymella, but structurallly the shell looks nothing like our other Euthymella species. The empty shell was in rubble at about 10m on the seaward reef.
