Dear Bruce,
Thanks for this photo of Berthella californica. The flattened internal shell in species of Berthella is much larger than in the related genus Berthellina and can be seen in this photo as the faint white 'shadow' which occupies the central half of the dorsum. The smaller more intense whitish mass within the shell boundary, is the visceral mass.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
