Quinnia limatula

Quinnia limatula has a small (up to 5 mm in length), limpet-like shell with a low, translucent white profile. The smooth surface features fine radial threads and concentric growth lines, creating a subtle cancellate texture. The apex is central and prosocyrt (curved forward), while the protoconch is smooth and paucispiral. The aperture is elliptical, and the muscle scar forms a distinct horseshoe shape. ==Distribution==

This marine species occurs off New Caledonia and Ouvea, Loyalty Islands. == Etymology ==

The genus Quinnia honors malacologist John Quinn, while the species name limatula (Latin: "small file") references its finely sculptured shell. ==References==
