Canarias and Lusitanian Seamounts to Sicilia, Messina Strait. Predator on Polyps at least in the circalittoral (50-305m). In Canarias, from where the holotype came, the species feeds on the Gorgonian Villogorgia bebrycoides (Koch, 1887). Original taxon: Aperiovula juanjosensii. Synonym: bellocqae.

The shell of this species is thin, rather slender, strongly rostrated like in carnea “angusta” Celzard, but much more rhomboid than the other members of the genus in the area: its dorsal gibbosity is the most marked. The aperture is very narrow. Presence of some spiral sculpture on both extremities, especially on the posterior one. – Above, a banded specimen from the same spot in the collection Mulero. 8,7mm.
