Semele borbonica ( Deshayes, 1863)

Habitat (inferred). Probably burrowing in coral sand.

Distribution. A single shell from the reef front at Passe Demi, 18 m.

Remarks. This is a small rounded shell with a very fine dense sculpture of concentric threads. There are traces of pink radial rays on the inner margins. This shell equates well with the type illustrations and similarly labelled material from Mauritius held in the Viader collection in the National Museum of Wales.

Range. Indo-Pacific [R/M].

Figured specimen. 11.9 mm, NMW.Z.2001.061.00056.
