Description
The minute, thin shell has a height of only 2 mm. Its shape is orbicular-depressed, oblique, narrowly umbilicate, transversely minutely costulate. It has a pale rose-color, tessellated with purple. The spire is obtuse. The 4½ whorls are rapidly widening, slightly convex, and planulate at the sutures. They are separated by impressed sutures. The body whorl is large and rounded on the base. The aperture is dilated, ovate-trigonal. The peristome is simple and acute.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Red Sea off Suez.
gollark: If it's too similar, then the low Levenshtein distance between apiospatial config files and your APIONET config file *could* actually open an informational path through apio*meta*space, which would then allow IRC messages to travel across it, thus possibly causing incursions.
gollark: Well, if the configuration is too similar, then it might be too similar to configuration files used by IRC networks in apiospace. Now, of course, most apiospatial information is highly cognitometaapiohyperhazardous, so it would be bad if it entered normal IRC networks.
gollark: You must install ngircd, set up appropriate SSL certificates (or use existing ones), and do various configuration.
gollark: I simply manipulate probability such that whatever I want to type spontaneously ends up in RAM somehow.
gollark: I can't.
