Oliva vicweei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Olividae, the olives. [2]
Original description: "Shell medium sized for genus. Cylindrical, 15-17 plicae which are explicit present. Spire blunted in adults and more elongated in subadult specimens. Spire whorls are completely covered with thickened purplish to brownish callus. The coloration of the callus is shown radially from apex to suture. The ground color of the body-whorl is cream to yellowish. The shell has two, more or less shown, bands. One around the middle of the body-whorl, the other a little below the suture. Oliva vicweei n.sp. is clouded by brownish spots and yellow triangles and very dark spots are scattered around the body-whorl. Just below the suture a necklace of dark brown to black spots is present.
Aperture lavender to brownish within. The suprafasciolarian band is provided with numerous, irregular, reddish brown lines." [3]
The holotype measures 29.8 x 13.3 mm.
and is deposited in the ZMA (ZMA moll. 3.89.017). [4]
Locus typicus: "The holotype and two paratypes
originate from Madura, North West of Java, Indonesia." [5]
"Type material was discovered in small pockets of yellow sand,
at a depth of 1.5 to 2.5 metres, inside a reef." [6]

Olivella barbenthos is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives.
Olivella bitleri is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives.
Olivella columellaris is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives. With the very similar Olivella semistriata it forms the subgenus Pachyoliva. Both species are suspension feeders. They use unique appendages of the propodium to deploy mucus nets which capture suspended particles from the backwash on sandy beaches of the tropical eastern Pacific.
Olivella rehderi is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives.
Olivella riverae is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives.
Olivella semistriata is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives With the very similar Olivella columellaris it forms the subgenus Pachyoliva. Both species are suspension feeders. They use unique appendages of the propodium to deploy mucus nets which capture suspended particles from the backwash on sandy beaches of the tropical eastern Pacific. Olivella semistriata is a swash-surfer; the snails use their expanded foot as an underwater sail to follow the tidal movement of the backwash zone in which they feed.
Olivella watermani is a species of small sea snail, marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Olivellinae, in the family Olividae, the olives. Species in the genus Olivella are commonly called dwarf olives.
