Hainotis sp. #2
no photo
available
Maximum size: about 10-15 mm.
Identification:
This
species
is similar to Hainotis sp. #1
in form with six prominent ridges running from the margin to the apex
and defining a roughly hexagonal apical depression. It differs
from that species in its larger size (10-15 mm) and lighter pink
color. Also, its apical depression contains a cluster of black
spots.
Natural history:
Hainotis sp.
#2
is known from a single animal found under a rock at < 4 m (< 13 ft) at a moderately exposed site.
Distribution:
Maui.
Taxonomic notes:
It
was first recorded in Hawaii from the west half of Ahihi Bay, Maui by CP in either 2000
or 2005. However, it was not collected or photographed. There
remains some chance that it's an extreme variant of Hainotis sp. #1 pending more material.
