« Close to corniculum Olivi, but smaller, with an more obtuse apex; the upper whorls are adorned with dense spiral lines, and not radiating plicae [indeed, there are both sculptures, giving these first whorls a reticulate surface]. The base shows much more numerous spiral lines. Labial margin densely denticulate (circa 12 indentations). » – H. F. von Maltzan: “Diagnosen neuer Senegambischer Gastropoden”, Nachrichtsblatt der Deutschen Malakozooologischen Gesellschaft vol. 16, Frankfurt 1884, p.70-71. – 30-40m deep, Marbella, Málaga, Andalucia, S. Spain. 9mm.
