The length of the shell attains 22 mm.
(Original description) The rude, rather thick shell is oblong, pyramidal and brownish black. The whorls are keeled near the suture, longitudinally ribbed below. The ribs are numerous and sharp; the ribs of the body whorl flowing down, crossed with lines. The aperture is short. The siphonal canal is very short. The sinus is rounded.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean from Colombia to Panama
gollark: It's a diode thingy, but if you thingy it backward, it gets thingied at a thingy voltage.
gollark: It's basically like a monoid.
gollark: The GTech™ cuboid is capable of simulating the diode several orders of magnitude faster than "physical reality" can.
gollark: Fine, we'll ship you a physics simulator octahedron™ preloaded with that.
gollark: We mostly just nanofabricate GTech™ photonic computation matrices as fully integrated slightly sparkly cubes.
