Description
The size of the shell varies between 2 mm and 3 mm.
The shell has a turbiniform shape. The umbilicus is deep perspective. The elevated spire contains four, a little convex, whorls. These are sculptured with longitudinal, close, radiating lamellae, angular in the middle, and little, elevated, transverse lines. The base of the shell is ornamented with concentric elevated lirae.
This species is elevately turbinate, with two conspicuous carinate whorls and a deep perspective umbilicus. The fine lamellae of the upper part of the whorls are bent or angulated in the middle.[https://archive.org/details/manualconch12tryorich G.W. Tryon (1890), Manual of Conchology vol.
