Pattern description. The tip of the apex strongly fluoresces yellow-orange, gradually fading in fluorescence away from the tip. The aperture fluoresces solidly. The upper half of the fasciolar band fluoresces strongly. The body whorl does not fluoresce but appears a darker, grey shade under UV light, though this colour difference did not translate well in photography.
