The shell resembles a small Turbo (greater diameter 4.2 mm.), with solid, rounded whorls and a low spire. Whorls about four, the nuclear section small, smooth, one-whorled or more, but its separation from the nepionic whorl indistinct or gradational. The penultimate whorl is sculptured by four primary spiral cords, the lowest or 4th hardly showing in the anterior sutural overlap, all are coarsely beaded and separated by wide intervals, finely cross-threaded. Towards the end of the penultimate whorl, a fifth spiral is intercalated between the second (shoulder) and third spiral cords and which quickly increases in size, and on the body whorl it is as large and strongly beaded as the others. The lowest, or most anterior of the primary cords mentioned, forms the outer edge of a slightly flattened base marked with three smaller spiral cords. The umbilicus is quite large, deep, margined by a large, beaded cord and with two smaller ones within. Aperture rounded, oblique, continuous, the anterior margin a little flattened; operculum unknown. Holotype, greater diameter, 4.2 mm., height, 3.5 mm. ANSP 211891-In shape and sculpture, this species is similar to Liotia carinata Dall from the Gulf of California. Named for Capt. W. S. Bitler, U. S. N. who has contributed substantially to our knowledge of the Panama fauna by his extensive collecting. Bocas Island.
