Can anyone tell a true Haedropleura pygmaea from something else?

I stumbled across an image of something that matches a shell I found in
Micronesia last year. The gastropods.com site calls it H. pygmaea:
http://www.gastropods.com/1/Shell_27221.html

But there's an illustration elsewhere of that species that looks like
it's from an entirely different genus:
http://shell.kwansei.ac.jp/~shell/pic_book/data02/a3219.html

The gastropods.com site also lists some synonyms of H. pygmaea,
including Iredalea pupoidea. That is not true according to the
Indo-Pacific Mollusks database.

Does someone know this taxon?
