Description

The height of the shell attains 3.5 mm, its diameter 6 mm. The solid shell has a depressed conical shape. It is narrowly umbilicated. The shell contains 4½ whorls. The small aperture has an ovate-triangular shape. The columellar margin has a slight callus. This is a small, subconical, solid species, not so shining as some of its allies. It has red-brown speckled markings. It has no angle at the periphery. It is slightly depressed and crenulated at the sutures.[2]

Distribution

The marine species occurs off the Philippines.

gollark: Is this "dk.ptf" in the same folder?
gollark: If you plan to actually do much with this you should probably get an actual code editor of some sort.
gollark: Sure. Generally python files have .py extensions but you don't *need* that, probably.
gollark: Not *literally* `path/to/file`, just do `python3 [the path to the file to run]`.
gollark: You should probably be saving it as a plain text file.
