Description
C. haurakiensis has a shell that measures up to 3.5 mm (0.14 in) by 2.1 mm (0.083 in), which has up to 4.5 subdiscoidal whorls, a flat or slightly raised spire, and a final slightly accelerated and dropping whorl. The shells have a protoconch of 1.25 whorls, and 9-10 spiral lirae. The shell resembles C. rata, but can be distinguished due to having a lack of colour, its larger size, and the shells tending to be more domed.
Range & habitat
C. haurakiensis is endemic to New Zealand, found in the Hauraki Gulf islands, the Coromandel Peninsula, and on the North Island in the Hunua Ranges and on the North Shore of Auckland.
