Description

The length of the shell varies between 22 mm and 27 mm.

The small, white shell has an elongate-fusiform shape. The shell contains 7 slightly convex whorls. The spire is longer than the aperture. The shell is longitudinally plicate with about 20 ribs. The sharp apex resembles Propebela rugulata , and the same is the case with the operculum . The teeth of the radula have the broad typical form. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Eastern Greenland and off Nova Zembla.
