In the sample from Kavalla (Greece) far over 100 shells are present, which are extremely variable in shape, varying between slender ovoid-conical and very short ovoid. They are uniformly sculptured with prominent, but obtuse, transverse riblets. The structure of the internal part of the lamellae is quite similar to what has been described by Strauch (1977: 169, fig. 2, pl. 19 figs. 68-70) for C. scklickumi. The parietal lamella is only slightly sinuous; it has no distinct curve downward. Apart from that, the parietal lamella is relatively short, as in e.g. C. minimum, entering the penultimate whorl from the body-whorl as only a low lamella.
Strauch (1977) has described two subspecies of C. scklickumi from Pliocene deposits and from deposits near the transition from Pliocene to Pleistocene. The fossil species is recorded from a wide range between the Caucasus and France. The recent material from Kavalla contains specimens which cannot be separated from C. scklickumi montagnyense Strauch, 1977, not only not in the structure of the lamellae, but also not in general shape, dimensions and sculpture. Specimens with an additional parietal denticle in the aperture, next to the parietal lamella, have not been found in the recent material; such a denticle is said to occur sometimes in C. s. scklickumi, which is described as very variable in general shape. The recent material too, is very variable in shape.
