Bouchetispira vitrea is a species of sea snail.[2]
Description
Bouchetispira vitrea has a thin, translucent shell up to 30 millimetres (1.2 in) long, with orthocline ribs.[1] The specific name vitrea is from the Latin word vitrum, which means "glass", referring to the translucent appearance of the shell.[1]
Distribution
The species was found on an isolated seamount off New Caledonia, and is probably a survivor of a larger clade.[1]
