Caecum subannulatum de Folin, 1870
Probable misidentification!
Cantabrian Sea to Canarias, Mediterranean.
Shallow water and infralittoral.
Grazer and detritus feeder.
 
Concentric thin sculpture, moderately strong in the first part of the shell (« ring-like display » – de Folin) and weakening in the second part; septum hemispherical slightly to strongly flattened, without any appendage; peristome thick, sometimes forming a large apertural ring. Differs from auriculatum by the lack of the ear-like projection on the dextral side of the septum, which is typical in the latter. Operculum flat.

40m deep, Málaga, Andalucia, S. Spain. 2,5mm.
