Finella dubia (d'Orbigny, 1840) Dubious Finella
Distribution: North Carolina to Florida, Texas; Brazil; Bermuda. Size: 3 mm
Description: Color translucent white; shape elongate-conic; sculpture of axial and spiral ribs giving cancellate appearance; nuclear whorls smooth; teleoconch with narrow, curved, axial ribs with spiral threads; aperture rounded, outer lip thin with weakly curved columella.
Habitat: Found in intertidal and shallow, subtidal sandy-mud-type substrates to depths up to 805 m (2640 ft).
Remarks: This snail is difficult to distinguish from Bittiolum varium and Cerithium lutosum. See Andrews (1977).
Synonyms: Alabina cerithidioides (Dall, 1889); Bittium cerithidioides (Dall, 1889).
