MATERIAL AND DIMENSIONS. — Maximum height 2.2 mm, width 1.4 mm. — RGM.1365098 (10), leg. AWJ ; RGM.1365199 (1), leg. AWJ ; RGM.794508 (c. 250), leg. AWJ ; RGM.961907 (1), leg. AWJ .
SPECIES CHARACTERISATION. — Thick, smooth, ovate shell. Protoconch heterostrophic. Two teleoconch whorls separated by a deep suture. Pyriform aperture with small fold deep within columella.
REMARKS
This species is unusual in being extremely small and thickshelled. The protoconch is clearly heterostrophic and there is a small columellar fold deep within the aperture seen only in tangential view. We are unsure where to place this species and leave it in open nomenclature.
DISTRIBUTION. — Lower Pleistocene: Atlantic, Selsoif (this paper).
