Description

The small shell measures 4.4 mm. Iti is elongate ovate, yellowish white. The nuclear whorls are small, almost completely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns. The five post-nuclear whorls moderately well rounded, with rounded summits. They are marked by retractive lines of growth and many fine, closely placed spiral striations. The sutures are well impressed. The periphery of body whorl are well rounded. The base of the shell is well rounded, marked like the spire. The aperture is ovate. The posterior angle is acute. The outer lip is thick within and thin at the edge. The columella is very short, very strongly curved, somewhat revolute, reinforced by the attenuated base and provided with a strong fold at its insertion.[4]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Bering Sea off Hagemeister Island.

gollark: It would be especially great if, like phones now, your car just didn't get security patches after 5 months, and gained an ever-growing pile of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities.
gollark: They should probably just not have network access, except for a wired connection to upload maps and such. Unfortunately, someone will definitely do something stupid like... have a 4G connection in it for interweb browsing, make the entire thing run some accursed Android derivative and put the self-driving code on there too, and expose that to the user, and make it wildly insecure.
gollark: I'm sure someone will manage to entirely mess up the security, yes.
gollark: (Just kidding! There's no way car OSes will be (are, probably) non-locked-down enough to do that!)
gollark: It's only a patent so far. But they had *better* not make it necessary to install adblockers on your car or something.
