Description
The length of the shell varies between 8 mm and 11 mm.
The turriculated shell has shouldered whorls. The shoulder is acute and tuberculated by the terminations of thirteen to sixteen narrow oblique ribs. The much wider interspaces are covered by revolving striae. The aperture is rather short and broadly truncate below.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs in European waters (Northern Norway - Arctic Russia) and in the arctic waters of [Eastern [Canada]].
