Gyrineum lacunatum (Mighels, 1845)
11.5mm

Gyrineum lacunatum is rare in the Marshalls. Three living animals are known, all from under rocks on the atoll's western seaward reef at depths of about 15m. In addition, a couple of empty shells have been brought up in sand and rubble samples from the steep seaward slope. This species is usually seen in the literature as Gyrineum pusillum, but that was apparently recently determined to be a misidentification.
