This is a taxon inquirendum (use in recent literature not established by editor)

Description

The length of the shell attains 2.5 mm, its diameter 1 mm.

(Original description) The very small, white shell has a ovate-fusiform shape. It contains nine whorls. The 3+1⁄2 apical whorls are almost caudate, three to four of almost uniform narrow build, quite smooth and glossy. The remainder are uniformly acutely keeled. The aperture is round. The thickened peristome with a squarish extension of the columellar base, half hides the narrow umbilicus.

In sculpture it shows kinship with Aclis ascaris(Turton, 1819).

Distribution

This minute marine species occurs in the Gulf of Oman.
