The cowrie Ipsa childreni - a marine gastropod.
The cowrie Ipsa childreni is a member of the diverse family Cypraeidae. Cowries are one of the most extensively studied marine gastropod groups both morphologically and genetically. A comprehensive genetic database is used to assess barcoding error rates for both species identification and discovery. See Meyer and Paulay.
