Interchangeable taxa

The largest specimen examined was dead collected and is 46.1 mm high. The operculum and the radula were also examined.
The operculum is light brown, strongly ovate with an extreme apical nucleus. The radula is trophonine with a short, broad central cusp and a short lateral denticle with a weakly longer and broader lateral cusp on each side. It is quite similar to the radula of 5. maltzani and S. undocostata (Golikov & Sirenko, 1992) from the Kurile Islands .
