Shell of Melanochlamys cylindrica

From: Bill Rudman
The Aglajidae are characterised by a reduced internal shell. In Melanochlamys the shell is still quite strongly calcified although as you can see here there are no complete whorls to the shell.
This shell is from a New Zealand species, Melanochlamys cylindrica, collected at Narrow Neck, Auckland, Waitemata Harbour, New Zealand, 1967. Shell dimensions: 6 x 5 mm. Photo: G. Batt.
