Characterization.
Shell patelliform; L
8.97 mm
; H
4.07 mm
;
W
6.23
mm; apex at 0.75 of shell length, not strongly involute; sculpture of about 40 radial ribs, primary and secondary ribs difficult to distinguish, commarginal ribs forming dense knobs on radial ribs; selenizone filled with sediment, demarcated by moderately strong keels; slit well developed; posterior slope slightly concave.
Distribution.
Sagami Bay to Western Kyushu,
Japan
,
50–150 m
(
Higo
et al.
1999
;
Sasaki 2000
). Also from the Pleistocene of the Moeshima shell bed, Kagoshima Bay, Kyushu,
Japan
(
Habe 1953
).
Remarks.
Emarginula dennanti
Chapman & Gabriel, 1923
from the Oligocene and Miocene of
Australia
is quite similar with respect to its shape and radial ribbing, but its commarginal ribs are spaced farther apart.
E. souverbiana
Pilsbry, 1890
is also similar in its shape and radial ribbing, but its commarginal ribs are weaker and spaced farther apart.
