Neverita delessertiana


Neverita delessertiana is a species of predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
N. delessertiana was long considered to be merely a form of the much more common and much more widely distributed species Neverita duplicata. In 2006 a paper was published which made it clear that Neverita delessertiana is a different species than N. duplicata.
