About Sistrum ricinus
NOAA HCRI report records source-name Drupa ricina from Kauaʻi reef work; 2018 Kauaʻi community observations corroborate continued occurrence.
WoRMS/MolluscaBase AphiaID 215769 accepts Sistrum ricinus and provides the bridge from Drupa ricina.
HCRI is an explicit Kauaʻi coral-reef survey, within shallow scope.
Primary reef record verifies Kauaʻi occurrence; recent community records support current classification, with yellow confidence on recency. Strict current-status reconciliation: downgraded to historical because no dated authoritative recent Kauaʻi voucher or survey was inspected.
