Mangelia stibarochila is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.[1]

This is a taxon inquirendum.

Description

The length of this shell attains 5 mm, its diameter 2 mm.

(Original description) The small, stoutly-built solid shell contains six whorls of which two in the protoconch. It is of a lively ochraceous brown, fading into white across the ribs. Some of these are much thickened and crossed by lirae, of which a few are stronger than the others. The aperture is narrowly oblong. The sinus is wide and half extending across the very thick outer lip which is particoloured, white above and ochre below. The columellar margin is clear ochraceous brown and simple.[1]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Loyalty Islands and off Mactan Island, Philippines

gollark: We could cut the first 6 chars off for control codes. Either "packet and sequence number" or "establish connection" or "please resend".

gollark: An issue, though, is that if we want to use base 64 then we'll lose several bytes if the first two chars of each label are used thag way.

gollark: We would need a way of dealing with timing desyncs though, maybe a sequence number.

gollark: Even a turtle and computer can share ID.

gollark: Oh, it is, yes.
