Description
The length of the shell attains 8.5 mm, its diameter 3 mm.
The white shell has a fusiform shape. The acuminate spire has a sharp apex. It contains seven whorls, of which two in the protoconch. The subsequent whorls are angulated. They are crossed by very obscure lirae and faintly discernible ribs, becoming obsolete on the body whorl. The body whorl shows many inconspicuous lirae. The aperture is oblong. The columella is straight. The outer lip is sharp and slightly sinuate below.[2]
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off South Australia.
gollark: I have an experimental GPT-2 model trained on my Discord messages, but even with just 117 million parameters it takes multiple seconds and 500MB of RAM to do anything.
gollark: The annoying thing is that for 99% of what I do I barely need 1GB, but a few things are so ridiculously intensive that I sometimes need more than I have for no good reason.
gollark: Surprisingly, it is not a Raspberry Pi but an increasingly outdated HP tower server.
gollark: My home server has an amazing 4GB of RAM.
