Description

This species has a shorter spire than Daphnella lymneiformis. It has a low beaded keel just below the suture but it persists through the adult stage. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines.

gollark: This meant it could now do websockets, which would in theory allow greater interactivity and such, but which are currently just used to ship song data more efficiently.
gollark: Interestingly enough, some weeks ago the Random Stuff API was rewritten to use asyncio instead of the horrible gevent bodge it used to use for much of its history.
gollark: It doesn't do metadata yet.
gollark: ABR is of course AutoBotRobot, my Discord bot. It has its own OIR™ feature, and so it connects to icecast to pull a relatively current stream.
gollark: The Random Stuff API also connects to *this*, for reasons (it used to do more with this, but that got split out into ircsysmon), and broadcasts the current track into a dedicated #o channel also bridged to the Test 2 Discord guild, which a bunch of my stuff runs in.
