This marine species (just as Broderipia nitidissima Deshayes, 1863) is more conical with a limpet-like form.
The apex nearer the middle than the edge and a little curved upward.
The surface is radiately ribbed, with shorter riblets inserted between the principal ones toward the periphery.
The anterior of the shell shows a small central, opaque, white callus, the rest is brilliantly pearly and opalescent.
[3] This marine shell occurs off southern Sri Lanka.
