From the article Anachis lentiginosa on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
(Original description in Latin) The shell is small, ovate, and blackish, speckled with white. The whorls are longitudinally plicate-ribbed, encircled by a white band below the suture, with the body whorl being transversely grooved. The aperture is blackish. Under magnification, the speckled appearance of this small shell resolves into numerous, regularly arranged, articulated transverse bands, which are separated by furrows. These bands are most conspicuous on the last whorl; on the spire, they are interrupted by the rib-like folds.
Range & habitat
This marine species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Colombia.
