The description by Dufo was miserable and doesn't allow an undisputed definition. Paul Fischer (1835-1893) suggested that it should be relegated to the synonymy of Clanculus pharaonius.[3]
Description
The size of the shell attains 12 mm.
Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Indian Ocean off the Mascarene basin.
gollark: I still have my offer up on one of Infinis' trades... maybe one day...
gollark: Aaa. How do I put images in my signature? I did it before but it won't work again.
gollark: Please remind everyone when it's nearing AP times?
gollark: My luck is terrible anyway. I've seen basically no rares (except those thunders, which I do not actually want) for ages.
gollark: Not that I have any chance of actually getting it, anyway...
