Original description.
Von der Localität 31.
Die neue Art gründet sich auf ein einziges in Mülleria mauritiana Q. & G. gefundenes Exemplar (Dr. v. Marenzeller hat die Schale bei der Bestimmung jener Holothurie entdeckt). Sie ist nahe verwandt mit Eulima modicella A. Ad. von Japan und den Philippinen, von ihr jedoch in einigen Punkten verschieden. Das Gehäuse ist stark nach rechts geneigt (mithin links concav, rechts oben convex gebaut) und besteht aus etwa 11 allmählich anwachsenden Umgängen; die Höhe der Schale beträgt 3,4, die Breite 1,2, die Höhe der Mündung circa 1 mm.
Translation.
From locality 31.
The new species is based on a single specimen found on Mülleria mauritiana Quoy & Gaimard [ Echinodermata, Holothuriidae ] (the shell was discovered by Dr. von Marenzeller when identifying this holothurian). It is closely related to Eulima modicella A. Adams from Japan and the Philippines, but differs in some respects. The shell is strongly bent to the right (therefore concave on left side, convex on top right side [it looks like a mistake because the opposite is true]) and consists of about 11 gradually increasing whorls; the height of the shell is 3.4, the width of 1.2, the height of the aperture about 1 mm.
Comments.
Warén (1984) placed this species in Melanella and provided photos of living specimens and of sections of the snail in situ on the host.
