Diaphana(?) sp. #2
Maximum size: 1.8 mm shell
length.
Identification:
The
shell of this species is similar to the shell of Colinatys
sp. #1 in form but is
translucent-amber without white reticulations.
Natural history:
Diaphana(?) sp. #2 is
known from one
worn shell found in a sand sample from 60 m (196 ft).
Distribution:
Maui.
Taxonomic notes:
It was first
recorded
in Hawaii off Makena, Maui by CP from a sand
sample provided by Mike Severns and PF on Dec. 3, 1991. Although its shell resembles shells of known species of the genus Diaphana, there's some
question about its identity due to size and wear.
