Description

The length of the shell varies between 10 mm and 44 mm.

(Original description as Volutomitra alaskana) The shell is fusiform, with about six moderately convex whorls. The suture is distinct. The surface is wholly minutely spirally striated, covered with an olivaceous periostracum over a white or yellowish shell. The aperture is longer than half the total length, with a rather wide siphonal canal, a callous columella and body in the adult, and simple outer lip. The siphonal canal has a well marked siphonal fasciole, and is slightly flexuous. There are normally four plaits, rarely three or five, strong and rather distant. The protoconch is almost always eroded. [2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Greenland: West Greenland, East Greenland; Canada: Devon Island, Nova Scotia; Iceland to Novaya Zemlya, Russia.
