Original Description "Candeina. Testa elevato-conica, laevigata, lucida, alba; spira elevata, conica, anfractibus quinis; loculis tribus sphaericis; aperturis numerosis. Coquille très élevée, conique, lisse, brillante, translucide. Spire saillante, conique, composée de cinq tours et formée de treize ou quatorze loges. Loges spheriques très sépares, au nombre de trois à chaque tour, toujours régulièrement places les unes au dessus des autres, de manière à représenter, dans leur ensemble, trois suites verticales de loges croissant également des premières aux dernières. Ouverture. Nous n'avons remarqué aucune ouverture centrale; mais, sur le retour de la spire, la dernière loge est percée, sur le bord, de six à sept petites ouvertures. Couleur blanche, transparente. Size: Diamètre ½ millim. Editors' Notes One of the three extant species lacking a type, with the original material considered lost. Morphologically distinct and its species concept undisputed, we feel it is not essen- tial to designate a neotype at this stage. [Brummer & Kucera 2022]
