Since the first finding in Turkey 25 years ago, the identity of this most likely non-indigenous species has remained unresolved. It differs from all known Mediterranean
at first glance by the presence of two brown spiral bands. We are unaware of any Indo-Pacific pyramidellid resembling this taxon, and it may well represent an undescribed species. To aid the further study of this taxon and raise awareness of its presence and apparent spread in the Mediterranean, we here re-illustrate the well-preserved shell from Neve Yam using light and scanning electron microscopy.
