Olivancillaria carcellesi occurs in shallow sandy shores from north Patagonia, in intertidal and subtidal sandy bottoms. Females of O. carcellesi exhibited a remarkable specificity for spawning on the shells of living males and females, indiscriminately, of the buccinanopsid Buccinastrum deforme, measuring 26.9 ± 4.7 mm in shell length. The egg capsule was semispherical and attached to B. deforme shells by a small elliptical and wide base. The capsule was translucid when spawned, with a ... Olivancillaria carcellesi occurs in shallow sandy shores from north Patagonia, in intertidal and subtidal sandy bottoms. Females of O. carcellesi exhibited a remarkable specificity for spawning on the shells of living males and females, indiscriminately, of the buccinanopsid Buccinastrum deforme, measuring 26.9 ± 4.7 mm in shell length. The egg capsule was semispherical and attached to B. deforme shells by a small elliptical and wide base. The capsule was translucid when spawned, with a thick and semirigid wall and a hatching aperture of 1.8 ± 0.1 mm (n = 111) in diameter. Each egg capsule contained a single egg that measured 1367 ± 34 ?m (n = 5) in diameter before cleavage. The embryo developed a small bilobed velum and an operculum, which were both lost before hatching as a crawling juvenile of 1762 ± 47 ?m (n = 28) in shell length. As in other species in the genus, the eggs of O. carcellesi are among the largest in the caenogastropods with direct development. The time from oviposition to hatching is estimated to be approximately 6 months.
