The shell is close to that of buzzurroi but it is more slender, has more radial costae, less convex whorls and its colour is uniform. It differs from clarae and corallinus by the less marked spiral threads, the reduced canal and a smaller size; from rusticulus by the less carinated whorls; from cretellai or labronicus by the lack of spiral pattern. – Aci Trezza, Aci Castello, Catania, E. Sicily. 11mm.
