Diaphanid from Kerama Id is haminoeid

Bill,
Atsushi's white slug is another 'miniham' form [see our earlier discussion re unknown genus #1 and
shell of c24]. We haven't done any work on this species since we have only have one specimen. It was good to see the Kerama specimen since this adds some credence to the white form being a separate species.

I'll try to dig up a good head shot of c24. The white form (c91) and c24 appear identical except for the color.

Dear Clay & Patty Jo,
I hoped you would recognise this animal. The shell reminded me of a diaphanid, but the animal looked much like a haminoeid. At this stage I'll put them altogether on the same genus page
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
