Description

As Anekes nofronii:

Shell trochoid, somewhat depressed, about ten percent broader than high, with about 1,5 rather convex, nearly smooth whorls showing very fine spiral sculpture at high magnifications. The mouth is entire with no siphonal notch and is attached to the bodywhorl for only a small part of its circomference. There is a well-marked umbilicus, encircled by one or a few spiral ribs on the base of the bodywhorl. Otherwise the whorls are nearly completely smooth. The last whorl occupies about 4/5 of the total height. The clearly tilted protoconch is very similar to the protoconch of Anekes gittenbergeri and consist of 1-1,25 whorl.
