Globidrillia paucistriata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Drilliidae.[1]

Description

The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its diameter 3 mm.

The white, elongate shell is slightly awl-shaped. It shows some red spots between the ribs and close to the suture and on the back of the body whorl. The shell contains nine whorls, (two in the protoconch). On the back of the body whorl there is a kind of swollen rib and the spiral striation has a semipunctate appearance. The aperture is short, measuring about 3/10th of the total length. The callous columella is on top covered by tubercles. The outer lip is incrassate. The siphonal canal is very short and recurved.[2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the demersal zone of the Pacific Ocean from California to Panama.

gollark: You can just assume they're evenly distributed, as a good hash function does this.

gollark: I don't think 8KB matters significantly in either.

gollark: It's not very good, compared to osmarkspythonbuildsystem™.

gollark: You were optimizing some bits of yclib for lower gains.

gollark: This sort of "hahahahahahahdajsdhahdjbajhdbajdnasd let us reinvent data structures constantly" is very C.
