Identification:  The shell of this species is similar to that of  Turbonilla kahoolawensis but with fewer axial ribs. Natural history:  The illustrated shell is the only one we've seen on Maui. Kay (1979) states that live animals have been found in the byssus of Isognomon perna. Distribution:  Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  The illustrated shell seems to be a good match for the photo is Kay but is somewhat larger than her description suggests for the species. Photo:  CP: 3.8 mm: beach drift, Hekili Point, Maui; fall, 1979. Observations and comments: Note 1:  ( )
