Identification:  Shells of this species are slender, straight-sided and tapered. The protoconch is consistently smaller that in the shell of the similar-appearing Nesiodostomia sp. #1. Natural history:  Although Kay (1979) lists Nesiodostomia quarta as a rare species with shells found in sand samples from about 10 m (33 ft), its shells are moderately common in beach drift on Maui. Distribution:  Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  This species is listed in Severns, 2011 as Eulimella quarta.
