Anisocycla sp. #1
 
Anisocycla sp. #1: shell
Maximum size:  1.4 mm.

Identification:  This is a very small, smooth species with an angled suture. It differs from Anisocycla hawaiiensis in having a less elevated protochonch.

Natural history:  We've only found a few of these shells in sand samples.

Distribution:  Maui.

Taxonomic notes:  There's some possibility that these shells might be within the range of variation of Anisocycla hawaiiensis.
