Pacific columbellid mavens,
Does anyone know of any Strombina species in the central Pacific? I've
got some 18 to 20mm specimens from Ahnd Atoll in Micronesia (near
Pohnpei). To my naïve eye they look similar in shape to Strombinas from
the eastern Pacific or lower Caribbean. These could be Mitrellas I
guess, but the overall shape is elongated and with a thickened outer
lip which is slightly shouldered anteriorly and posteriorly.
