Description
The length of the shell attains 8 mm.
The whorls are flatly angulated around the upper part, elegantly cancellated with transverse and longitudinal striae. The columella is striated at the base. The color of the shell is whitish, longitudinally zigzag marbled with chestnut. [2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off New Guinea and Queensland, Australia
gollark: Um. How?
gollark: Also, aren't cytokine storms a thing of *too much* immune response?
gollark: Plus it might be dependent on long-term environmental things or genetics, in which case good luck.
gollark: I would assume it's because the immune system still isn't extremely well-understood, and vaccination is easier and more consistent.
gollark: Huh, this somehow runs at 100 FPS.
