Type
locality:
Valorous station 13, North Atlantic;

,
1263 m
(
Quinn 1983a
).
Distribution:
Amphi-Atlantic distribution, from the northern end of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to the Canary Islands and from Florida,
USA
to the northeastern Brazilian coast;
732–2311 m
depth (
Quinn 1983a

New occurrence:
Southeastern
Brazil
, from Espírito Santo to Rio de Janeiro,
790–3450 m
depth.
Description:
Shell small, broadly conical (nearly twice as wide as tall), strongly keeled, relatively thickwalled. Color homogeneous white to cream. Protoconch (~1 whorl) rounded, bulging, with pitted surface; transition visible as orthocline suture. Teleoconch smooth, except for strong spiral cord at periphery forming distinct keel and usually weaker median spiral cord on each whorl; both cords may bear rounded nodules, especially on last two whorls; nodules expanding axially toward adjacent cords, forming faint axial ribs, particularly on first two whorls. Basal portion of body whorl usually smooth, except for 1–2 very thin spiral threads near peripheral keel, and faint axial growth lines. Upper portion of whorls (above median cord) convex, and lower portion concave, resulting in a step-like profile. Suture shallow, but well-marked. Aperture quadrangular, acuminate toward peripheral keel, with strong columellar tooth. Umbilicus wide (1/4–1/5 of shell diameter), deep; umbilical periphery usually rounded and smooth, except for small nodules near the peristome.
Measurements (in mm):
4¾–6¼ whorls, H = 1.8 ± 0.1, D = 3.1 ± 0.9, h = 0.75 ± 0.1, d = 1.0 ± 0.1.

Remarks:
This species was reported by
Clarke (1961)
from the southeastern Atlantic, but this record was considered doubtful by subsequent authors (
Laubier & Bouchet 1976
;
Quinn 1983a
). The new records expand the range of this species more than
1,000 km
southward, from NE to SE
Brazil
.
