FamilyColumbellidae
NameAstyris atacamensis , Araya, Catalán & Aliaga, 2016
Size9 mm
LocalityOff Huasco, 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 one of the nicest specimens 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. 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.
