Remarks.
The small size and creamy white color of
Olivancillaria teaguei
are the main differences from the other species of the genus.
Castellanos (1964)
reported its presence in argentine waters based on the lots 1403, 3040, 3954, 4176–1, 7227 housed at MLP Buenos Aires province. No specimen of
O
. teaguei
from the
Argentina
coast was ever found at the MLP or MACN. Those lots mentioned by Castellanos are
O
. carcellesi
and
O
. orbignyi
, both common species from the
Argentina
coast.
