Looks like Mitrella mindorensis, but... so far in the west?
Any idea?

Other question: don't you suspect a kind of blank area in SW. Indian
Ocean? The number of mysterious little species is surprising, even when
found beached around famous touristic spots such as Nosy Be... Very few
infos available. All seems to focuse on cowries, cones, murices,
scallops and volutes.
Thanks in advance for any ID, remark, 2 cents etc.
