Description
The length of the shell attains 7.5 mm, its diameter 2.5 mm.
The turreted shell has an oblong shape. It contains 7 whorls, of which the first two are smooth and convex. The subsequent whorls are convex and contains 10-11 ribs that hardly stand out from the background and spiral lirae. The aperture is narrow and measures about 2/5 of the total length. The white outer lip is incrassate and on top slightly sinuate. The siphonal canal is short and narrow. The columella is simple.[1]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Northern Chile.

gollark: I edited the file to remove the merge conflict annotations and just put in the right version instead.
gollark: Does anything *use* this?
gollark: Maybe we could even experiment with nongrays.
gollark: Also, perhaps it would be better to make the alternating table rows higher-contrast?
