Description

The size of the slender conical shell varies between 3.3 mm and 3.5 mm. Its color is white with a green hue. The shell is slightly concave and has a blunt apex. The teleoconch contains five slightly convex whorls, divided by a superficial suture. Sculpture is lacking, except for the orthocline (i.e. at right angles to the growth direction of the cone) growth lines. The aperture is oval. The outer lip is smooth and lacks teeth. There is no umbilicus or columellar tooth.^[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Morocco at depths between 700 m and 1520 m ^[3]
