Shell highly polymorphic, with variable pattern and whorl-convexity. « Although there is a basic pattern in the number of bands, the greatest variation is observed in their amplitude and intensity. The intensity of the colour of the first whorls of the spire usually coincides with that of the central band, and that of the subsutural band with that of the umbilical area and inner lip. Even so, and maintaining this basic pattern, there are populations with the shell practically of a single colour […], with a very wide central band […] and others where the central band is reduced to a line […] – in this case the background colour predominates. » It is « one of the most abundant micromolluscs in the biocenosis of the infralittoral photophilic algae. » – Rubio & Rodriguez Babío: “La familia Cingulopsidae (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia: Cingulopsoidea) en las costas españolas, con la descripción de una nueva especie”, Iberus vol.13(2), Barcelona 1996, pp.25-27.
