North Carolina, Florida, Texas. Size: 3.2 mm
Description: Color translucent in live or fresh material to opaque in dead specimens; shape hemispherical, shell fragile, thin; sculpture faint, almost smooth with fine axial growth lines and fine spiral striations; nuclear whorls smooth, glassy, slanted, and half immersed; adpressed body whorl convex above, obliquely angular at the periphery with a convex base that passes into a funnel-shaped umbilical area that bounds a small umbilicus; aperture broad and ovate with a somewhat straight columellar margin. Habitat: In Texas found in dredge material off Galveston at a depth of 20 m (66 ft).
Remarks: M, pierrot has least surface sculpture and is the least auriform of the Macrompbalina. See Pilsbry (1953); Ode (1988c).
