Description

The length of the shell of this species attains 11 mm, its diameter 5 mm.

(Original description) The straight shell is cylindrical. It is semi-transparent white. The shell is sculptured throughout with fine spiral striae, becoming more numerous and closely set towards the base. The apex is very narrowly perforate. The aperture is narrow above but dilated below. The columella is obliquely arched. The peristome is simple and rises above the vertex.[1]

gollark: Oh, never mind, it just finished.
gollark: LuaJIT also isn't managing to execute it fast either.
gollark: Even `for i in range(2**32): pass` is slow in Python and I don't know why.
gollark: But this is an esolang, so I doubt it's very efficiently implemented, and this might be doing some sort of inefficient stuff itself.
gollark: I mean, 2^32 is actually within tractable computation range for modern computers (it's 2 billion or so, and my laptop can probably manage 8GIPS (giga-instructions per second) sequentially).
