Description

Shell of moderate size (2.8 mm), thin, white, elliptically conical, high (SH/SL = 0.41). Apex posterior of center (P/SL = 0.64). Protoconch barely below apex, broken, sculpture unknown. Teleoconch sculpture of raised concentric bands that become irregular, then interrupted into beads or pustules that align to form regularly curved rows. Radial sculpture of very fine, irregular, threads and beads that abut but do not cross concentric bands. Anterior slope weakly convex to straight, posterior slope straight. Aperture planar, broadly elliptical. Shell edge thin, sharp. Periostracum thin.

Interchangeable taxa

The single specimen from Colombia, although worn, is readily identified on the basis of its conical shell shape, nearly apical protoconch, and characteristic teleoconch sculpture.

Distribution

Previously known only from the type locality, off Grand Bahama Island, Bahama Islands at a depth of 518 m (McLean & Harasewych 1995). The present record extends the range to off the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and the depth range to 70 m.
