Nassarius albus var. nanusUsticke, 1959, p. 70, pl. 4, fig. 5 [Synonym] Type Locality: Cane Bay, St. Croix Range: 18°N to 8°S; 83.07°W to 33.8°W Depth: 2 to 0 m Maximum Reported Size: 5 mm Distribution: Costa Rica, Venezuela: unlocalized; Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands: St. Croix; St. Barthelemy/St. Bartholomew, Brazil: Para, Maranhao, Ceara, Atol das Rocas, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco References: Usticke (1959) M; Warmke & Abbott (1961) N; Houbrick (1968) W; Princz (1982a); Mello & Perrier (1986) DdS Comments: Non A. Adams, 1852; described as variety, but Usticke states in the description 'this dwarf race is so strikingly different, that it deserves a sub specific title', therefore the name is available under ICZN Article 45.6.1. Specimen illustrated by Macsotay & Campos (2001, pl. 4, fig. 16) from Sucre, Venezuela appears to be misidentified.
