Description: Distinguished by the tiny subspherical smooth form with three and a half chambers in the final whorl; sutures slightly depressed and containing rows of small apertural openings; no primary aperture.
Distribution: Porangan to Lower Whaingaroan.
Comment: Possibly a homeomorph of Candeina nitida which appears in the Miocene, although Leckie and Webb (1985) propose a connection through a lineage beginning with C. cecionii (Lower Eocene, Chile) and continuing through C. zeocenica and C. antarctica (Upper Oligocene to Middle Miocene).
