Description

The shell grows to a height of 2 mm. The depressed shell has an ovate shape. The spire is plane. The umbilicus is moderate. The two whorls are nearly plane. They are broadly clathrate with thread-like elevated radiating lines, stronger below the carina, and concentric elevated striae. The umbilical region has elevated concentric lines. The aperture is rounded-ovate. The inner lip is receding.

This species is widely clathrate, with conspicuous thread-like radiating and concentric lines, the former of which assume on the spire a lamellar character.[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Western Pacific Ocean.

gollark: I think that if your system can't be deployed without being used everywhere at once, it's utter bees and should not occur.
gollark: Living standards have still consistently increased for pretty much everyone for ages, governments are the ones going to war and covertly operating and you can't really get around this given the existence of scarcity, worldwide extreme poverty is declining and literacy is increasing, etc.
gollark: And yet it somewhat works ish, apparently better than many of the things called "communism" over the æges.
gollark: Such forms of communism seem impräctical.
gollark: Added to my questioning profile.
