Description
The length of this shell attains 12 mm; its diameter 4 mm.
The small, solid, lanceolate shell is yellowish white. It is everywhere densely and faintly grooved by transverse lines, most so near the sutures. The apicial whorls are longitudinally folded. The shell contains 8 whorls. The aperture is narrow, lunate and placed somewhat laterally. The outer lip is thick, simple, with a slight sinus near its posterior junction. The columella has a thick, erect callus, quite thick posteriorly. The rostrum is reflexed.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Kikaia Island, Japan.
gollark: And ever since the HKI update also allows *multiple keys* per channel.
gollark: It had different authentication things per channel though.
gollark: The v4 protocol even transcends its echo server roots and allows multiplexing multiple SPUDNET channels onto one connection.
gollark: Also, SPUDNET is a *mildly useful* websocket echo server, since it supports authentication!
gollark: Interesting!
