Herviella albida from Hastings Point

December 19, 2003
From: Denis Riek

Dear Bill,
Here is a picture of Herviella albida from Hastings Point on the north coast of New South Wales [Australia]. It was found in a rock pool at low tide and in this area of NSW there are very few places to search at low tide. Hastings Point is one and although only a small area a large range of tropical gastropods occur here regularly including Conus & Mitridae.

This speciman was found November 2002 and was only 8-10mm. At that stage I had not been able to make a flash unit for my camera so the depth of field is not too good.

Regards
Denis Riek.

Dear Denis,
At this stage my identification of this species is tentative, but better here than being consigned to the 'unidentified'.
Best wishes
