FamilyColumbellidae
NameAstyris atacamensis - Very rare, selected , Araya, Catalán & Aliaga, 2016
Size8.8 mm
LocalityHuasco, northern Chile
NoteOne nice specimen of the recently described and very rare deep water (404-409 m depth) species Astyris atacamensis (Araya, Catalán & Aliaga, 2016). This species lives in mud in reducing environments where there is organic matter or chemosymbiothic environments, and it lives in large communities in pockets in the sea floor. This is a typical specimen collected from the type locality, from the original batch from which the species was described (topotype). All of the specimen in this new species lack the protoconch and first whorls, as they decollate and seal them while living. This specimen is conserved dry with the soft parts and operculum still inside. There are no other records of this species and it has been found only during its description. This is your opportunity to obtain an extremelly rare deep-water species for your collection at a rather low price.
