Description

The height of the shell attains 6.5 mm, its diameter 8.5 mm. The shell has a depressed-conic shape with a flattened base. It is olive-green, the apex green. The shell is ornamented with deep brown granules. It is rather widely umbilicate. The 5½ convex whorls are separated by a narrowly canaliculate suture, and encircled by granose lirae, about 7 on the penultimate whorl . The body whorl has a roundly angulated periphery and is encircled by about 14 granulose lirae. The white umbilicus is surrounded by a white granuliferous rib, and with a smooth rib within. The oblique aperture is beautifully pearly, and lirate within. The outer margin of the lip is crenulated, at the base and is strongly lirate. The oblique columella is inserted on the whorl above, and is dentate below.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Solomon Islands and the Philippines.

gollark: Suuuuuuuure.
gollark: Cool idea if I do this: make one simple, fairly easy to guess regex, and then tack 58 random special cases on the end.
gollark: It's not a DFA, it uses a GTech™ regex turing machine to implement Macron to do this.
gollark: Or the osmarks.net source code.
gollark: Well, you can always read the Minoteaur source code.
