Description There is a slight asymmetry between the two poles. The aperture is a single or double row of pores on the terminal face. Inside each chamber there is a plate, roughly parallel to the roof of the chamber, and this has two or three rows of large holes, at the margins of which buttresses run to the roof and floor of the chamber. the plate increases in size and complexity so that the later nepionic chambers have the same internal structure as the ephebic ones. The evolute dorsal surface is hidden by the involute ephebic chambers. Proloculus spherical and succeeded directly by a normal chamber. No dimorphism. [details]

Description There is a slight asymmetry between the two poles. The aperture is a single or double row of pores on the terminal face. Inside each chamber there is a plate, roughly parallel to the roof of the chamber, and this has two or three rows of large holes, at the margins of which buttresses run to the roof and floor of the chamber. the plate increases in size and complexity so that the later nepionic chambers have the same internal structure as the ephebic ones. The evolute dorsal surface is hidden by the involute ephebic chambers. Proloculus spherical and succeeded directly by a normal chamber. No dimorphism. [details]Dimensions Equatorial diameter 0.8 mm. to 2.1 mm. Axial length 0.7 mm. to 1.6 mm. Diameter of nucleoconch 0.09 mm. to 0.15 mm. There are about two and one-half nepionic whorls and about three ephebic ones, with nine chambers in the first whorl, twelve in the second, and about sixteen in each of the succeeding whorls.
