Unidentified Ellobiid
sp. #4
 
Unidentified Ellobiid sp. #4: shell
Maximum size:  3.2. mm shell length.

Identification:  The shell of this species shows banding reminiscent of  Melampus sp. #1. However, it lacks the prominent axial ribs.

Natural history:  Unidentified ellobiid sp. #4 is known from only a single, probably juvenile shell.

Distribution:  Oahu.

Taxonomic notes:  This may be a juvenile of one of the listed species but it doesn't seem like a good enough match to lump.
