Buccinulum robustum is a species of marine gastropod mollusc in the family Tudiclidae.[1][2] It was first described by Baden Powell in 1929. It is endemic to the waters of New Zealand.
Description
[edit]Buccinulum robustum is typically between 13 and 15 mm in length,[3] and can grow up to 20.6 mm by 9 mm.[4] It is recognisable by its strong axial ribs. Specimens vary in colour from black and pink to uniformly white.[3] Some specimens of Buccinulum robustum were originally described as two different species (Buccinulum robustum and Buccinulum suteri), with the name Buccinulum suteri given to specimens with finer spiral sculptures.[3] Buccinulum suteri was later synonymised with Buccinulum robustum.
Distribution
[edit]The species is Endemic to New Zealand.[2] The holotype was first identified at Port Fitzroy on Great Barrier Island.[5] While primarily found on the east coast of the North Island, in 1995 the first specimens were identified to the west of the Aupouri Peninsula.[6]
