Macteola sp. 4
5.4mm

This Macteola is rare at Kwajalein. The few specimens observed were in rubble on the seaward reef slope at about 16m or under rocks on lagoon pinnacles. One of the figures in gastropods.com shows something like this as Macteola segesta, but the World Register of Marine Species lists Macteola segesta as a synonym of M. interrupta, and our specimens look nothing like the syntypes they figure from MNHN.
