Description

Solariella lubrica: Shell small, conical, white, shining, with a slight nacreous hue ; whorls five full and rounded; suture distinct; from about the beginning of the third whorl a row of round nodules extends along the upper line of the whorls just below the suture, about twenty-five on the last whorl and more faintly defined near the aperture; base perforated by a small umbilicus bounded by a thickened raised line, within which are about twelve plications extending up into the umbilicus ; outside of this line a few radiating impressed lines extend toward the outer part of the whorl; faint lines of growth are here and there visible on the polished surface ; aperture nearly circular, thin-edged, simple ; the pillar slightly extended on the umbilical side, not thickened. Alt. 4.0. Major diam. 3.25. Diam. of aperture, 1.5 ; of umbilicus, 0.5 mm.
Dall, W.H., 1881. Reports on the results of dredging under the supervision of Alexander Agassiz, in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Caribbean Sea, 1877–79. Preliminary report on the Mollusca.
Solariella lubrica: Shell small, 3.1 mm x 2.7 mm, contour conical, inflated, glossy with intense pink color when alive to nacre white when dead, with 4,125 whorls. Protoconch small, polished, with globose nucleus, emerged, with fine spiral striae, 1 ¼. 1st whorl with the formation of a subsutural tuberculate spiral cord, which forms a narrow platform between the suture and this cord. Tubercles are ornamented by 2 fine spiral threads. Body whorl inflated and smooth. Base strongly convex, with the presence of a funnel-shaped umbilicus, which is bordered by 1-2 tuberculate cicumbilical cords and strong, short axial plications originating from the tubercles and going to the base. Intraumbilical region formed by strong axial folds, umbilicus narrow and deep. Aperture circular, with a dorsal narrowing. Inner lip concave, weakly reflected to the umbilicus. Outer lip fine.
