Description
The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 7 mm. The complanate shell is ovate, elongated, transversely delicately striate and contains two whorls. The apex is somewhat prominent. The oblong aperture is ear-shaped. Its right lip is simple, somewhat excavated in the middle. The columella is margined, strong, thickened, callous and provided with a tooth-like tubercle. The margins are continuous and joined by a callus.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Red Sea.
gollark: Anyway, Rust is very robust and cargo is great, but I also take ages to write anything good in it and everything has something like 250 dependencies.
gollark: I really like Lua's concurrency model.
gollark: Definitely, Python has tons of weird special-casing and complex features.
gollark: I looked at Wren, I think it was overly OOPy or something.
gollark: Very simple design, very consistent.
