Identification:  The shell of this species is slender with a deeper suture than the shell of Eulimella quinta. Occasional shells have a disproportionately inflated ultimate whorl similar to the shell illustrated in Kay (1979). Natural history:  Shells of Eulimella secunda are moderately rare in beach drift. Distribution:  Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  Kay, 1979 lists this species (as Odostomia seconda) as a synonym of Nesiodostomia montforti Corgan, 1972. However, Severns, 2011 illustrates the latter species with a shell that is probably an Odostomia cf. oxia (although Corgan proposed the name N. montforti as a replacement for Odostomia secunda). The shell labelled Nesiodostomia montforti in Kay, 1979 is probably a worm  specimen of Eulimella secunda although that isn't completely certain due to wear.
