Popis
Hab. Gulf of Oman, Muscat. 15 fathoms.
A peculiarly refined and exquisite shell, allied in form to A. loveniana A. Ad. from Japan, but abundantly distinct. It is not unlike a small Turritella, being twelve-whorled, including three apical smooth and vitreous, the remaining nine being ventricose, much impressed at the sutures, uniformly closely spirally lirate, the lirae threaded, subpellucid; mouth rounded, outer lip thin, effuse; columella almost straight.
