Description
The size of the shell varies between 2.5 mm and 6.2 mm. The small, semitransparent shell is narrowly rimate. It is frosted by minute numerous white tubercles, which are partly embedded in the substance of the shell,. On one specimen there are slight spiral lines below the deep suture. The four whorls are swollen and rapidly increasing in size.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in European waters off Ireland, the Bay of Biscay and Portugal.
gollark: Food is, broadly speaking, necessary to live. But while I could probably *survive* on cheaper, less resource-intensive-to-produce food than I do, or less food by caloric content and stuff, I like to have more/better food than is strictly necessary. Same with water - I won't die of dehydration on some small amount per day, but on the whole I'll be worse off if I don't have as much to drink as I want, or enough water for showering and washing stuff.
gollark: I'm typing.
gollark: You totally did.
