Identification:  This species has a very small, transparent-white shell with an angled umbilicus. It has a more slender profile than the other Rissoella shells from Hawaii. Live animals are cream with diffuse gray-black and white patches. Natural history:  Shells of Rissoella sp. #1 are rare in beach drift. Live animals are occasionally found in shallow rocky habitats. Distribution:  Maui; fall, 1991. Taxonomic notes:  Assigning these shells to the live photo is somewhat uncertain. Also, slenderer shells may include more than one species since there is quite a bit of variation in protoconch size within the small available sample (including between the right and left shells in the photo). Photo:  CP: Maui: fall, 1991. Observations and comments: Note 1:  ( )
