Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 65 mm. The diameter is 16 mm. The whorls are angulated in the middle and nodulous on the angle. Above it the surface is smooth, below the nodules are continued as flexuose wrinkles or ribs, becoming evanescent towards the base of the aperture. The color of the shell is yellowish brown, with usually one or two darker bands.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean off the Canaries, Gabon and Angola.
gollark: Hmm.
gollark: Okay, so to make you wrong I just need to somehow impersonate you to HelloBoi.
gollark: Your sample size is three (3).
gollark: (it effectively does a horrible depth first traversal of an automaton thing matching all permutations of a string, to reify that traversal as an actual dictionary, which it then matches against in that version and flattens to convert to a regex in the improved one)
gollark: `without = s[:i] + s[i + 1:]` ← it's meant to exclude all indices but `i`.
