Aesopus myrmecoon

Columbella stearnsii Tryon, 1883 Aesopus myrmecoon, common name ant-egg dovesnail, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.

[1] (Original description) This is a minute species four millimeters long, of a whitish color more or less tinged or spotted with brown, almost duplicates Aesopus stearnsii (Tryon, 1883) in form and sculpture, though so much smaller than the Florida species.

[2] This marine species occurs off San Pedro, California, USA to Point Abreojos, Baja California, Mexico.
