Mastonia funebris Jousseaume,
1884
5.95mm
This
appears to be Mastonia funebris, although it does not quite match the
figure in gastropods.com,
which shows a shell with one of the spiral rows of beads white rather than yellow.
These are uncommon
on lagoon and seaward reefs at depths exceeding 6m and empty shells have been
brought up from at least 60m.
This last one is kind of similar
to the gastropods.com figure, but seems even lighter between the nodules.
