Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; brackish; depth range 0 - 2 m (Ref. 101214). Tropical

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 6.5 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349); common length : 5.0 cm SHL male/unsexed; (Ref. 349)
Shelly heavy, with 9 to 10 whorls. Numerous spiral and axial grooves cross each other, forming squarish nodules on the shell surface. Sutures with deep channel. Whorls are flat sided.
