Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Harzhauser and T. Kowalke 2002The small low-conical, stepped shell comprises 2-3 strongly convex whorls. It measures up to 1 mm in width and up to 0.6 mm in height. The teleoconch is characterised by whorls with impressed sutures and with a smooth surface except for growth lines. Aperture with subcircular outline, characterised by a thin peristome. Very broad, circular and deep umbilicus. The protoconch consists of 1.25-1.3 flatly coiled whorls measuring 0.07 mm in the width of the initial cap and 0.29-0.3 mm in maximum diameter. The heterostrophic character of the protoconch is indicated by the slightly sunken initial cap. The initial cap is ornamented by a distinct groove-ridge pattern. The following shell is sculptured by dense spiral striae. The last quarter whorl of the protoconch is characterised by a slightly irregularly folded surface. The embryonic shell is terminated by a thickened rim. The onset of the teleoconch is indicated by the formation of dense growth lines and the cessation of the spiral pattern.
