Etrema cf polydesma Hedley, 1922
9.8mm

These are similar to the one we are calling Etrema polydesma in the dark staining around the aperture but appears to have a much smoother shell. One specimen was found in a cave at night at a depth of about 16m on a Kwajalein Atoll lagoon pinnacle, another under a rock on a shallow lagoon reef and a third brought up in a sediment sample from about 61m on the seaward reef.
