Anazola biraghii (Bernard & Nicolay, 1984)

"Shell of medium size but quite large for its group of genera, sub-cylindrical, fairly glossy and smooth, yet with a tendency to present many fine and irregular growth lines on the body whorl. Spire of 7 whorls, the apical 4 of a hyaline white, the following ones marked by a dark brown dotting which continues all the way to a somewhat larger and darker dot just beyond the end of the suture. Suture canaliculate. Colour of body whorl blue-gray to beige. Fasciole tan, mottled with brown: on its anterior edge, another dark brown dotting surfaces and eventually comes to an end with a more evident element just by the siphonal notch. Aperture about four fifths of the total height, with numerous columellar plicae degrading all along and a white parietal callosity which very thinly continues on the spire. Inside all white, except for a regular band at the border of the lip, through which the outside colouring is visible. The holotype of biraghii measures mm. 61 x 22. It will be deposited with the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle of Paris. The paratypes measure: (a) mm. 66 x 24; (b) mm. 62 x 22; and (c) mm. 51 x18.". Recent. Island of Banié, Gabon.
