Description
editMitromorpha gofasi is characterized by its small, elongated shell, which typically reaches between 6 mm and 8 mm in length. The shell has a smooth, glossy surface, often with delicate spiral or axial sculpturing, which helps in identifying it within the Mitromorphidae family. Its color can vary but often includes shades of white, cream, or light brown, sometimes with darker markings.[2]
