Monilea inepta, originally in Latin) The small, solid, ovate-conical shell is encircled by articulated threads, one of which is more prominent, in rosy or clay-colored hues with paler intervals. The sutural region is tessellated, with 4 convex
whorls and a blunt
apex. The base is convex, with a moderate, plicate umbilicus encircled by a whitish band. The
aperture is circular with a thick, simple
lip, and the
columella is smooth. ==Distribution==
