Description

The length of the shell attains 5.5 mm.

This is a very pretty little form collected by Hemphill on the reefs at Key West. It differs from Mitrella moleculina (Duclos, 1840) in being smaller, more distinctly spirally grooved all over, and in having the brown color (on a translucent ground) concentrated in two revolving brown bands, one above and the other below the periphery, the upper one alone being visible on the older whorls. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Key West, Florida, the Bahamas, Martinique and Guadeloupe
