Material.— One specimen from the Pliocene of Liog-Liog Point : NMNS PM 28442 (W = 1.0 mm, H = 1.1 mm) .

Remarks.—This tiny specimen resembles Lopheliella rockallensis in its overall egg-shape with rather straight-sided whorls. However, it bears a distinct ridge along the umbilical chink, which is more pronounced than in any known species of Lopheliella ( Hoffman et al. 2008, 2018).
