Description

The length of the shell attains 34 mm, its diameter 12 mm.

The white shell has a fusiform shape. The length of the narrow aperture equals almost half of the length of the shell. The labral sinus is broad, rather deep and situated at the suture.

It is related to and differs from Turricula navarchus in the strongly developed, but relatively sparse peripheral nodes.

Distribution

This species occurs in the Indian Ocean in deep water off the Maldives.

gollark: There was something like that on the Lua Users wiki actually.
gollark: If you pass the unserializer very safe\* functions like `load` and `debug.setupvalue` and all that, you could serialize almost anything!
gollark: I was looking at trying to address the main issue with it - the possibility of```luatextutils.unserialise [[ (function() while true do end end)()]]```things (its _ENV is sandboxed, so it can't do anything other than denial of service attacks) but I think you would *basically* need a parser to prevent that.
gollark: `textutils.unserialize` is really bad and just uses `load` internally, see.
gollark: No, that's a valid table.
