Trivirostra cf pellucidula (Reeve, 1846)
6.5mm

While these are clearly not the same as those we have tentatively identified as Trivirostra pellucidula, they do have similar characteristics, including the ribs that cross the middorsal sulcus. We have seen published figures that call similar shells T. pellucidula, so our identification of both species remains suspect. These shells were found under rocks at depths of 13-16m on the seaward reef.
