FAMILY : VELUTINIDAE
Below..the internal shell of a Velutinid species

A family that is in need of revision, with Australian and Indo-Pacific species poorly known

very cryptic camouflage to blend in with their prey as can be seen in the images below.

At least 5 individuals together in image below.
