Description

The size of the rotund-conoidal shell attains 6 mm. A neat little, rather solid species, with a very pale straw colour. The apex is obtuse. The shell contains five, ventricose whorls. The sutures are impressed. The shell is uniformly delicately transversely lirate. Under a lens some very obscure small brown spotted markings on the lirae, and larger spots at the periphery, are observable. The body whorl is subangulate at the periphery and has dark brown spots. The shell has a deep but narrow umbilicus The small aperture is roundish. The outer lip is barely swollen. The margin of the columella is a little contracted.[3]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Loyalty Islands.

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
gollark: Yes.
