Description

Crassitoniella carinata has a distinctive orange-red coloured shell, with a wide protoconch. The living animal has white long tentacles, with large eyes. [2] The species measures 1.91millimetres by 1.3 millimetres. [3]

The species' shell is similar to the Australian species Crassitoniella flammea , but differs by having a uniform colour and distinct peripheral cord. [2]

Distribution

The species is Endemic to New Zealand. [1] The holotype was collected from shell sand found at Piwhane / Spirits Bay in the Northland Region, New Zealand. [4] The species was first documented on the east coast of the North Island as far south as the Bay of Plenty, in 1995 a specimen was first identified on the west coast of the North Island. [5] Additional specimens have been found in the waters near Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands. [6]
