Costal side of orbicular clea
Costal side of orbicular clearly flat, so this move seems warranted. Interestingly, the irregular black ST spots seem highly directional/structural(?) in reflectance, appearing strongly with one light direction, disappearing with the 'opposite' light position. I've no idea how useful this might be for ID or (otherwise) common across species.
