Details


Triforis (Inella) rushii Dall, 1889a, p. 246
[Basis of the current name]
Type Locality: West of North Bemini Island
Range: 25.7°N ; 79.4°W
Depth: 366 m
Maximum Reported Size: 5 mm
Distribution: Bahamas: Bimini
References: Dall (1889a) DdNSEW; Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008b)
Comments: Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2008b) state the Dall (1889a) gave the size as 2.6 mm, but that was the length of 3 whorls of a 4 1/2 whorl fragment. An intact shell would certainly be at least 5 mm and possibly more than 10 mm.
