Description

The length of the shell attains 3 mm.

(Original description) The minute shell shows an absurdly accurate resemblance to the large species of Turricula. It has inflated whorls, a constricted suture and a relatively long siphonal canal. The holotype has a slender brown protoconch of four long axially ribbed whorls and three and a half subsequent inflated whorls. The shell shows seven axial ribs, and a deep anal sulcus close to the suture. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Hawaii and Réunion
