The length of the shell varies between 5 mm and 8 mm.

This species differs from Glyphoturris diminuta in being smaller and shorter proportionally, and with the strength of the sculpture even more exaggerated.[2]

gollark: > Apple> build quality

gollark: Wired stuff is generally more reliable, higher bandwidth/faster/better quality, costs less, and occasionally gets a bit tangled but that takes about 5 seconds to resolve.

gollark: Not really.

gollark: Why would I ever want to do *that*?

gollark: I don't need "bigger magnets" and that is not worth £100 to me.
