Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 15 mm and 30 mm. The elongate, ovate-fusiform shell has a buff color. It differs from Typhlodaphne purissima by being slender, having a smaller protoconch and showing flexuous, closely spaced, subobsolete axials over the 5 whorls of the teleoconch. The shoulder is slightly concave. The narrowly ovate aperture has a rounded anterior end. Across the shell run numerous microscopic lirae.

Distribution

This marine species occurs along the Tierra del Fuego.
