. Breviora. 1968 REDESCRIPTION OF ANACHIS SPECIES Post-larval whorls seven or eight, nearly flat, with distinct, regu- larly spaced, straight axial ribs and less distinct spiral striae. Suture indented. Ribs usually parallel to shell axis, and most ele- vated at the suture. Those on the spire extend from suture to suture and are about the same width as the interspaces. Ribs on the body whorl average 15 (range 11 to 20), are not as closely spaced as those on upper whorls, and extend from the suture to just below the periphery, except that those near the aperture extend only to the periphery.
