The external morphology and movement of a living specimen of the minute gastropod Sukashitrochus pulcher (Petterd, 1884) is reported and the findings compared with the reported morphologies of other species of Sukashitrochus and scissurellids more generally. Although some scissurellids exhibit swimming behaviour, there is no evidence that temperate Australian Sukashitrochus species possess this ability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
