Identification:  The shell of this species has an involute apex plus fine axial ribs and spiral striae. The animal is translucent cream. Natural history:  Retusa sp. #2 is known from only one animal found in a sand sample taken off Keehi Lagoon, Oahu and two shells found in sand samples from depths of 10-20 m (33-66 ft) on Maui. Distribution:  Maui and Oahu. Taxonomic notes:  There is some question whether this is actually a Retusa (perhaps a juvenile haminoeid, instead?). It was first recorded in Hawaii from a sand sample collected at Black Rock, Maui by CP (shells only). Photo:  CP: 1.5 mm: 2006 CREEF expedition; off Keehi Lagoon, Oahu; Oct. 7, 2006.
