(As Gabbia wykoffi)
A single fossil specimen characterized by 1) broadly ovate shell 4.2 mm high, 2) spire low-conical, whorls convex, meeting at slightly impressed sutures, 3) body whorl large, oval, about 75% of total height, base convex with exceedingly narrow umbilical chink, 4) aperture oval, angular adapically, peristome rather thick, 5) operculum with paucispiral nucleus and concentric growth markings, 6) outer surface bearing growth lines and very faint spiral striation. The related Gabbia pygmaea (Preston, 1908) differs in being smaller with more deeply impressed sutures and lacking the spiral striation.
