Description
The length of the shell attains 14 mm, its diameter 5 mm.
The small, ovate shell is semi-translucent with very dilute golden yellow spots. It consists of about 9 whorls, of which three in the protoconch. The spiral lirations are very numerous and beautifully minutely beaded. The aperture measures about half the total length of the shell. The outer lip is thin. It is deeply sinuate at the suture. The columella is wrinkled. The siphonal canal is short.[1]

gollark: > well, the actual purpose of schools is to teach people things, but most students do not learn anything even if they go to school. source: mean math score being about 4/40 in the university entrance exam.Exactly! It's mostly worthless!
gollark: If they run that whole cycle fast enough it'll average out as a reasonable situation!
gollark: Outside of high-level stuff (GCSE *maybe*, probably A-level) I think it's *mostly* irrelevant if you take a few weeks off.
gollark: I mean, you can socialize at school, which is important, but you can do that anyway.
gollark: It annoys me that the government goes on about how amazingly important it is and how it would be unethical to make people not go to school for a bit.
