Description
The length of the shell varies between 19 mm and 20 mm, mm, its diameter is 4 mm.
(Original description in Latin) The shell is slightly rimate, cylindrically turreted, and rather solid. It is sculptured with curved rib-like striae. It is violet in color. The spire tapers slowly upward and ends in a truncated apex. There are 12 remaining whorls, which are moderately convex; the body whorl is very briefly detached and is very obscurely subcarinate at the base.

The internal columella is obliquely coiled by three nearly equal lamellae.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Badiofaux trilamellata” as species of mollusc. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of mollusc. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140814244. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1972 and 1864.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
