Pisinna rekohuana
species of mollusc
Pisinna rekohuana is a species of marine gastropod mollusc in the family Anabathridae. First described by Badwn Powell in 1933 as Estea rekohuana, it is endemic to the waters of New Zealand. There are two subspecies of the gastropod: Pisinna rekohuana rekohuana, primarily found in the south and Pisinna rekohuana lactorubra, primarily found on the north-east coast of the North Island.
Description
Powell described the species as follows:
Shell small, ovate, solid. Whorls 4¾, including low dome-shaped protoconch of 1¾ whorls, which is faintly sculptured with closely spaced spiral striae. The surface of the post-nuclear whorls is smooth, but not polished, and apart from faint, slightly oblique axial growth lines, there is no true sculpture. Spire elevated, bluntly conical, one and a-half times height of aperture. Colour reddish-brown, except for a narrow whitish band immediately below the suture, and the peristome and interior of the aperture, which is more yellowish than reddish-brown. Aperture very large, almost circular. Peristome continuous, much thickened within and clearly marked off from the base by a heavy callus.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pisinna rekohuana”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6790659. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1933.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
