Oxystele merula

The conical spire has an eroded yellowish apex.

The body whorl is not carinated at the periphery, rather flattened on the base, and usually slightly eroded in front of the aperture.

The outer lip has a black margin and is within silvery.

The umbilico-columellar region is surrounded by a beautiful rose-colored tract.
