The following is a passage from a manuscript I am working on (Northeast
Florida shells):
"469. Recluzia rollandiana Petit de la Saussaye, 1853 Brown Janthina [5]
11 mm.
Drift, St. Augustine Beach. PJ! 1981. (PJ).
A Sargassum-associated species like Litiopa melanostoma (no. 274)."
PJ! means collected by Paul Jones (now residing in Sicily with the US
Navy). [5] means rare (actually only a single specimen (seen by me). In
Florida this appears to be a rare species (at least in collections).
