Terebra nitida Hinds, 1844

Cette térèbre présente une coloration gris verdâtre uniforme. Un alignement spiral et sous sutural de petites dépressions situées dans les sillons axiaux marque les tours du test.

Cette térèbre est souvent, en séchant, tâchée d'une couche de calcaire blanche, probablement due au fait qu'elle ne vit pas entièrement enfouie dans le sable.

T.nitida est récoltée en eau peu profonde des lagons aux fonds de sable noir.

Taille du spécimen illustré : 30 mm

This species has a uniform greenish-gray color. A spiral and subsutural alignment of small depressions in the axial grooves mark the shell whorls.

This species is often, while drying, stainted with a calcareous white overcast, probably due to the fact that it does not live totally burried in sand. T.nitida is collected in the lagoons shallow water on black sand.

Size of the displayed specimen : 30 mm
