01 Philine punctata. April, 2011, Menai Strait, Wales.

Extracted shell, height 1.8 mm. The surface has spiral rows of impressed, unconnected dots. The spire (1) is very small with narrow, deep channelled sutures; it does not protrude beyond the encompassing body whorl. The large aperture is nearly as long as the height of the shell; it occupies about two thirds of the apertural view of the shell.
