Truncatella guerinii Villa & Villa, 1841
7.9mm

Empty shells were common on some beaches at Roi-Namur and living and hermit crabbed specimens were abundant in some areas under rocks along the shoreline at a depth of less than 1m. Many were seen while snorkeling along the breakwater at the north end of Kwajalein Island.

An atypical specimen with the spire still intact.
