Description

The length of the (decollated) shell attains 9 mm, its diameter 5 mm.

(Original description) The shell much resembles Cryptogemma calypso Dall, 1919, from which it differs by having the anal fasciole striated spirally, the surface in front of the shoulder without spiral sculpture and minutely vermiculate, the ribs more knob-like, shorter, and averaging about 12 on the body whorl. The shell contains 6 whorls. The apex is always eroded.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego, Lower California at a depth of 650 m.

gollark: Unless it ships its own JS VM on Android too actually. Don't know.
gollark: Discord updates won't fix that though.
gollark: I assume it uses the Android media stack, so updates to Discord can't fix any issues there.
gollark: Wait, no, I think the mobile one is React Native or something? But same principle.
gollark: It's an Electron app, they probably cannot introduce actual problematic bugs like remote code execution.
