Description
Originally described as a variety of Bela nebula (Montagu, 1803), it is distinct by its shorter height and its more pronounced and more limited sinus. Its outer lip is more inflected. There is a white band on the periphery of the body whorl.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Senegal.
gollark: We are in historically unprecedented times.
gollark: What? Biological problems are much easier than social ones. Bodies may be horribly convoluted poorly understood and highly stateful systems, but so is society, and at least you can do small-scale testing in biology.
gollark: Excellent.
gollark: Is this that sentient regex from a few days ago?
gollark: Just switch to radio telescopes.
