Description

The length of the shell attains 11 mm.

(Original description) The small, white shell has a translucent thin periostracum and about five whorls (the protoconch eroded). The spire is slightly longer than the aperture. The early whorls are rounded with about fifteen slender, low, arcuate, protractive, axial riblets which are obsolete on the body whorl. The suture is distinct, marginate, where the riblets are conspicuous as at the periphery and continued to the suture in front. There are also fine, well-marked lines of growth, all crossed by close-set, low, spiral threads which become coarser and slightly more distinct on the siphonal canal. The anal sulcus is deep, wide and rounded. The outer lip in front of it is strongly protractive, thin and simple. The body and the columella show a thin wash of callus. The columella is straight and attenuated in front. The aperture is narrow and lunate. The siphonal canal is short, rather wide and not recurved. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Cocos Island, Pacific Costa Rica.

gollark: Plus verifying the checksums and such.
gollark: I think all the updater thing would need to do is:on the non-CC side, just track what files changed since the last release, generate a checksum, and either generate an archive or a bunch of URLs for it.on the CC side, periodically check a manifest file, store its own version locally, check if a newer version is available on the server, and if so download the files which have changed.
gollark: Probably gitget.
gollark: I should look at how Opus does its updates, since Opus is generally considered good.
gollark: I see. Your standards for "not too hard" are probably different to mine.
