Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality
From editor or global species database
Authority alternately attributed to Forbes (1844), based on the same material [details]Biology Type of larval development: planktotrophic, inferred from multispiral protoconch. [details]
Diagnosis Shell up to 12 mm high, fusiform with acute spire and body whorl occupying about 60% of the total height. Protoconch small, with 4 convex whorls and a sculpture of oblique threads forming a delicate reticulate pattern. Teleoconch with a sculpture of regular, high spiral cords; there are three cords on the first teleoconch whorl and the number increases by intercalation of additional cords in the later whorls. Interspaces of cord filled wit delicate raised lines, parralel to growth lines. Body whorl markedly constricted around the siphonal canal. Aperture lanceolate, with outer lip simple and fragile, curved in lateral view and forming a very deep notch immediately beneath the suture. Protoconch dark brown, teleoconch beige, sometimes with darker suubsutural blotches or flames. [details]
Distribution Eastern Atlantic, from Norway to Angola, the Canary Is. and the Azores; Mediterranean. Gorringe, Josephine, Seine and Ampère seamounts, moderately common in 180-545 m. Absent from southern North Sea and east Channel. [details]
Type locality Aegean Sea [details]
