Description

The length of the shell varies between 4.5 mm and 12 mm. The small, thin shell has a depressed globose shape. It is finely reticulated with many green striae at the suture which spread squarely to the periphery. The shell is painted with four articulated colored bands. The five convex whorls are subacute at the periphery. The suture is deep. The base of the shell is convex and the pale umbilicus is deep. The aperture is large. The columella is dilated, its edge is angulated, terminating below in a tooth.[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Indo-West Pacific.

gollark: It's *technically* invalid to have a CNAME and TXT record, although some stuff won't care and some providers support a fake ALIAS thing which works like CNAME but without that constraint.
gollark: You can do that by sticking an HTML file on the server too.
gollark: Basically, Github cannot magically solve any problems with this, but there aren't horrible ones anyway so meh.
gollark: Although you can't use madefor.cc *itself*. and let people put arbitrary content (even GHPages-y *static* content) on it.
gollark: As I said, most web security stuff is designed based on the same origin policy, so subdomains should be perfectly fine, except for badness with cookies which shouldn't apply.
