If you fail to identify a white Trivia call it "oryza", however, the
specialist will identify it usually later on as belonging to a quite
different species. What I mean to tell you is that Trivia oryza is being
used among the Triviidae as  Nerita undata is being employed in the
Neritidae i.e. to indicate a hotchpotch of numerous different species which
look the same for the non-specialist.
Success with the identification of the Trivia's.
