Clanculus cruciatus

The narrowly umbilicate shell has a globose-conic shape with a conic spire and an acute apex.

The 5 to 6 whorls are convex and separated by canaliculate sutures, and spirally granose-lirate.

Those above the periphery are granulose, about as wide as the interstices, those beneath more separated and smoother.

The columella is slightly concave, bearing a small denticle at its base and above near the insertion.

It is bordered by a strong smooth or obsoletely crenulated marginal rib, and surrounded by narrow tract of white.
