Popis

Shell rounded depressed, relatively fragile, whitish, with a reticulated surface. Protoconch hyperstrophic with 1-2 interruptions, and a little more than 1,75 smooth whorls, of about 320-350 µm diameter, and a thickened rib near the start of the teleoconch. Teleoconch of about 2,5 whorls, with only 2 spiral cords at the beginning, which increase up to 8, the 6ch being the most peripheral and the lowest one bordering the umbilical infundibulum. Those cords are crossed by narrow prosocline axial ribs which number about 40 on the last whorl. Umbilicus wide and deep. Under magnification, a microsculpture of irregular lines formed by microtubercles appears between the cords and on them. Aperture ovoid, columella curved, outer lip sharp. Dimensions: The holotype is 3.0 mm in maximum dimension, but the largest shells can reach 4.0 mm.

The species appears to be rather common having been collected in many places. It can be differentiated from the previous species due to its numerous axial ribs and spiral cords forming a reticle. Some other species have a similar appearance but differences are pointed out in their description (see below).

Rozšíření

In ADAM & KNUDSEN (1969) this species is referred from Guinea Conakry, Ivory Coast and Gabon. We enlarge this range from Senegal to Angola. The shell illustrated in GIANNUZZI-SAVELLI ET AL. (1997: fig. 555) appears to be this species, and it was collected in north Morocco; so, if this is confirmed, its distribution area would be enlarged to the north.
