Eatoniella atervisceralis is a species of marine gastropod mollusc in the family Eatoniellidae.[1] It was first described by Winston F. Ponder in 1965. It is endemic to the waters of New Zealand.
Description
Eatoniella atervisceralis has a minute, conical smooth shell, and is yellowish white in colour. The animal's body is pigmented with black blotches, while the head and foot are unpigmented. [2] The species measures 1.23 millimetres by 0.75 millimetres.[3]
The species resembles Eatoniella pullmitra, however can be told apart by its smaller umbilicus and colour.[2]
Distribution
The species is endemic to New Zealand.[1] The holotype of the species was collected in October 1951 from Lonnekers Beach in Stewart Island by E.C. Smith, found amongst coralline algae at low tide.[4] Specimens have been found in the North Island, often amongst seaweed.[5][2]
