Description
(Original description in French) This species differs from Anachis aurantia (Lamarck, 1822) by its less acute spire, its larger apex, and its more numerous, larger, more salient, and more widely spaced granulations. Anachis aurantia also has each of its whorls bordered by a white ridge, which is absent in A. aliceae.
Finally, the coloration of the two shells is quite different: A. aliceae is a beautiful clear honey yellow, while Anachis aurantia is a beautiful pink. [2]
