Description

The height of the shell attains 1.5 mm, its diameter 2 mm. The shell consists of about three convex whorls forming a comparatively low, somewhat depressed spire. The entire surface below the relatively large, little raised, smooth nuclear whorl, is covered with raised, rounded, well-separated, revolving microscopic threads, most distinct on the base. The small umbilicus is scarcely more than a chink. The aperture and the operculum are typical.[2]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off New England, USA, found off Martha's Vineyard.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: ConwayLife Wiki does NOT have that facility, or a convenient preexisting file, thus I must run this giant application on it.
gollark: Because I can just download a pregenerated zim file from the kiwix people?
