Check BIOUG00847-B07
The page for your BOLD sample BIOUG00847-B07 includes live images of what looks like an Amydria sp. Looks like images got mixed up.

Hi Steve
The sequence-species certainly does not match the image species. I left a 'Taxonomy Note' on the specimen page at BOLD. explaining the mismatch, and suggested an Amydria sp. as an alternate species.
There may not be a sequence for this BIOUG00847-B07 specimen.

Thank you for the noticing this for me.
