The height of the shell attains 7 mm, its diameter 6 mm. The imperforate shell has an obliquely pyramidal shape. Its color is yellowish-green without spots.

The base of the shell is .slightly convex and contains numerous transverse lines, mostly punctate. The suture is profound. The aperture is subquadrangular. The lip is smooth within. The columella is pretty vertical.[3]
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off Western Australia.
gollark: It said "cultists not allowed" (but that wasn't actually functional for ages) waaay before the cult wars if I remember right.
gollark: I was browsing another Discord server and I noticed an interesting bot thing where you can say `!portal [channel]`, and it posts something like the image there in the channel you specify (the link there is a link to the command so you can easily go back to it), and a link to the *new* message in the original channel. If organizing stuff into channels is much of a concern here this could be good to implement.(also, please remove the cultist ban in <#471334670483849216> as it does not seem to actually serve any useful purpose)
gollark: It's still there.
gollark: There was one in the latest video. Did you not watch it?Edit: Tell you *what*? I mean, it was discussed at the time.
gollark: Not sure if it's been said already, but this is an interesting use of lasers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_optical_communication
