Description
The height of the shell varies between 7 mm and 10 mm. The median teeth of the radula are oval, wide, with a narrow projection above, and more or less narrowed toward the base. The upper margin is in no case reflected, so that cusp, cutting point or edge, in any usual sense, there is none.
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Vietnam, Korea, North Japan and Sakhalin
gollark: Maybe the sail bit could also be switchable in little bits instead of the whole thing at once, for very limited steering and communication.
gollark: Maybe space *bees* use solar sail propulsion, laser propulsion or ion engines depending on circumstance (the sail bit is switchable between reflective and photovoltaic somehow), and space *moths* use the thermal thing.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Ion drives with solar power?
gollark: What are those?
