Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 13 mm and 20 mm. The whorls are shortly and obliquely ribbed. The ribs are obsolete on the back of the last whorl, depressed below the sutures. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, with a deep reddish chestnut spot on the back of the body whorl. The siphonal canal is rather long compared to the other species in this genus.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off Central America and Ecuador.
gollark: I feel like the CC community ends up reinventing small useful utility things like coroutine managers far too often.
gollark: It's not just that the people making interesting stuff like that know random useful functions/libraries, but that they're just good at translating their thoughts into code.
gollark: That isn't really very specific.
gollark: We can answer specific questions for you, and help debug stuff, at least.
