Description

The helicocone shell grows to a length of 7 mm. Contrary to most other Eulimella species, the inside of the outer lip of a minority of Eulimella angeli specimens shows some teeth in the aperture. The carina at the base of the body whorl is prominent. The opisthocline growthlines of the shell, in the shape of an inverted S, clan clearly be seen.[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Atlantic Ocean off Mauritania and Senegal at depths between 18 m and 200 m [3]
