Quick ID for this species is the presence of an umbilicus cavity on the underside. Other similar NZ species grow shell membrane across this.

Known as Circular slipper or Nipple shell in some more imaginative fraternities. Easily mistaken for worn specimens of it's cousins , particularly S novaezelandiae
