Ulrich (1879):
Ulrich (1879):
- Shell very small, sub-lenticular, about twice as wide as high; spire much depressed; volutions two or three, angular a little below the middle, increasing moderately in size, and with barely perceptible convexity on the upper side; sutures deeply impressed; umbilicus large; aperture rhombic oval; surface smooth.
Height of a specimen of the usual size, 0.02 inch; breadth, 0.04 inch. This species differs from both C. minuta and C. parvula, Hall, in having a larger umbilicus, the spire much more depressed, and the whorls angular instead of rounded.
