Aloha Keith, The Hawaiian Blasicula group consist of alisonae(which may revert back to pellucens as per Melvill's earlier description), rashleighana, & latior(per Lorenz as Melvill's 1888 description pre-dated Kay's burgessi 1983 description). There are no true Cypraea teres teres in Hawaii. Johnson noted in Kwajalein alisonae & teres together & illustrated this with underwater pix showing the species characteristics. And burgessi is no longer valid. Please send me a pix directly to my email [log in to unmask] & i'll try to help on your ID question. Mahalo!
