Description

The length of the shell attains 5 mm, its diameter 1.75 mm.

The small oblong-fusiform shell is semi-pellucid. It is unicolorous white, or flecked with pale straw-colored spots. It contains six whorls of which three in the protoconch. These are closely and very finely cancellate. The subsequent whorls are slightly ventricose and almost smooth. The very delicate and irregular spiral striation across the whorls is almost evanescent. The body whorl is smooth centrally. The narrow aperture is oblong. The outer lip is nearly straight. It is incrassate, white and shining. The columella stands upright. The siphonal canal is short. The sinus is hardly expressed.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Gulf of Oman

gollark: I'm using esbuild and esbuild-svelte.
gollark: (`result` is an object)
gollark: For some reason this is fine, but if I change `result` to `result.someattribute` it says this:
gollark: ```html<style lang="sass"></style><script> import { onMount } from "svelte" import Loading from "./Loading.svelte" import rpc from "./rpc.js" export let id let promise onMount(() => { promise = rpc("get_page", id) })</script>{#await promise} <Loading />{:then result} <pre>{JSON.stringify(result)}</pre>{:catch error} <em>Error {error}</em>{/await}```
gollark: I am having a very incomprehensible problem.
