Species of gastropod
Strigatella testacea is a species of sea snail , a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mitridae , the miters or miter snails.[ 1]
William Broderip described the species as Mitra testacea in 1836; the holotype had been collected by Hugh Cuming .[ 2]
Heinrich Wolfgang Ludwig Dohrn described M. antoni in 1860 from a specimen also in Cuming's collection.[ 3] Dohrn classified this species as a junior synonym of M. testacea in 1861.[ 4] Dohrn's M. antoni should not be confused with M. antonii Küster, 1839 , sometimes taken to be its senior homonym .[ 1]
George Washington Tryon proposed that both M. bulimoides Reeve, 1844 and M. badia Reeve, 1844 are junior synonyms of M. testacea ,[ 5] but this has not been accepted.[ 6] [ 1]
Walter O. Cernohorsky proposed that M. obliqua Lesson, 1842 was a junior synonym of M. testacea ,[ 6] but this also has not been accepted.[ 7] [ 1]
It has been found in the Kingsmill Islands , Cook Islands , Society Islands , Tuamotu Islands , Gambier Islands , and the Pitcairn Islands .[ 6]
Its shell is a light reddish brown color,[ 8] and can grow to a length of 32 mm (1.3 in).[ 6]
