Description

Eatoniella notalabia has a minute ovate-conical shell, with a swollen body whorl. Colour of the species' shells can vary from yellow-brown, purplish-brown to black. [2] The species measures 1.26mm by 0.8mm. [3] The animal itself is white-coloured with a narrow strip of black. [2] Specimens collected from Piha in the 1960s were uniformly white, with no black. [2]

Distribution

The species is Endemic to New Zealand. [1] The holotype was collected by Ponder himself on 1 January 1964, at Goat Island Bay (modern-day Cape Rodney-Okakari Point Marine Reserve) in the Auckland Region. [4] The species is found in the waters of the North Island, South Island, Auckland Islands and the Chatham Islands, and is particularly abundant in the South Island and Stewart Island. [2]

The species is found on algae/seaweeds at low tide. [2] [5]
