Identification:  This species has a flattened, "squared off" shell with a low spire and very fine radiating striae. It resembles mature shells of Berthellina delicata but has a smaller protoconch and lacks brown staining. Natural history:  Unidentified pleurobranchid #2 is known only from a handful of shells found in beach drift at moderately exposed to exposed sites. Distribution:  Maui. Taxonomic notes:  These shells differ from the shells of other Hawaiian pleurobranchids in their profile, spire height and protoconch size suggesting the presence of one more small shallow water species.
