DESCRIPTION
Shell ( Fig. 9 View FIG A-E)
Diameter of c. 9 mm; height c. 92% of width; general form globose. Color white, with small, sparse yellow spots splayed sequentially in subsutural and middle level of whorls; upper spots performing irregular radial band; middle spots as acute chevrons ( Fig. 9C View FIG ). Protoconch blunt, of 1 rounded whorl ( Fig. 9D, E View FIG ); surface smooth, glossy; diameter c. 0.9 mm, occupying c. 10% of upper shell surface. Teleoconch of c. 2.5 whorls; suture shallow, marked by subsutural low elevation ( Fig. 9 View FIG A-C); spire angle c. 110°. Sculpture absent except for growth lines and axial weak undulations; undulations stronger in umbilicus. Suture shallow, marked by narrow subsutural elevation ( Fig. 9B, C View FIG ). Aperture semicircular, wide, occupying c. 70% of shell height and c. 45% of shell width; outer lip thick, weakly prosocline ( Fig. 9B View FIG ), simple; inner lip slightly concave to almost straight ( Fig. 9A View FIG ), upper half covered by thick callus, lower half as thick edge ( Fig. 9A View FIG ). Umbilicus with middle fold, wide, open; c. 3/4 covered by callus with sinuous edge; its aperture occupying c. 15% of lower surface.
Measurements (width and height in mm)
Holotype ( Fig. 9 View FIG A-E): 9.2 × 8.5.
Paratype: MZSP 105144: 6.6 × 6.0.
Habitat
295-620 m depth, muddy bottoms (no living specimen).
Etymology The specific epithet is derived from the Amazon Paritintin native language, a combination of jukyry, meaning yellow, and uva, meaning spot ( Betts 1981), an allusion to the yellow spots on the shell.
