Geographical distribution and bathymetry

Known from N New Zealand (Wanganella Bank and Kermadec Islands) and Australia ( Norfolk Island). Two dead specimens were collected in New Caledonia (Norfolk Ridge) and Coral Sea (Capel Bank) at depths between 200‒ 400 m.

Remarks

Shell small (maximum shell length 22 mm), conical to broadly conical with a moderate to high stepped spire. Teleoconch sutural ramps concave with arcuate radial threads. Last whorl with strongly granulose spiral ribs. Protoconch multispiral of about 4 whorls. Radular morphology unknown. No specimens have been sequenced. The two dead specimens collected off New Caledonia exhibit shell features consistent with those of the holotype for the species.
