The shell of this species shows banding reminiscent of Melampus sp. #1.

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

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.
