Description

The beautiful Lienardo's Ancilla, Eburnea lienardi (Bernardi, 1858), better known as Ancilla lienardi, is a marine gastropod in the family Olividae. It occurs from the Caribbean to northern Brazil.

I am reporting the date the specimen in the photos was collected, but the collection date is incomplete on the specimen label (see photo).

I photographed this specimen at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on 2006-10-19.

Some specimens have a darker color, as seen in some photos at this website:
