Description

The shell size varies between 9 mm and 15 mm. The shell is turbinate, narrowly but deeply umbilicated, and exhibits an iridescent blue color often obscured by whitish, thread–like lines of growth and spiral line. The shell's whorls number between 5 and 5½, with the first few whorls being yellowish. The shell's outer surface displays more conspicuous lines of growth between the ridges, giving it a distinctive texture and appearance. [2]

Distribution

This species occurs in Antarctic waters off the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Peninsula, the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea. This species inhabits deep waters, with the type locality reported at a depth of 130 fathoms. [3]
