Eucithara cf gracilis (Reeve, 1846)
15.95mm

These are similar to the ones we are calling Eucithara gracilis but have a single brown spiral line and less pointed shoulders on the spire whorls. They were found under rocks on lagoon pinnacles and on the seaward reef, or on silty sand in small caves on the reef slope, at depths of about 16-20m. Empty shells were also brought up in sand samples from as deep as 61m on the seaward slope.
