Weinkauff, op. cit. p.152: « Shell egg-shaped and conical, thin, translucent, amber-coloured, decorated with several rows of reddish brown spots; the last whorl usually bears a series of larger square patches under the suture, followed by a series of finer points just below, then two very fine lines and further down two rows of square patches; the spire is conical and rather tall, with a flat apex. The five whorls are only slightly arched and increase regularly; they are separated by a fairly distinct suture; their sculpture consists only of very fine lines. The mouth is a little angular-oval, pointed above, slightly angled down, the columella is oblique, the edge of the mouth sharp, simple. » – Scilla, 50m deep. 1-1,75mm.
