Marlo,
OK, Hyalina lactea Kiener as depicted in Abbott 1974 is obviously different
from the photo in Warmke & Abbott's Marginella lactea Kiener.

Did Kiener name two marginellids in different genera with the same name?

DeJong & Coomans refer to Hyalina lactea, so I guess they like that name.

I've got images of a couple of my Anguilla "lactea" specimens. They are
about 7mm in length.
