Isognomon californicus, the black purse shell or nahawele, is a species of Hawaiian bivalve in the family Isognomonidae.[2] It was first formally named in 1837 by Timothy Abbott Conrad as Perna californica.[1] Despite the name being closely named after California, this is misleading because this species exists in Hawai'i.[3]
