Lissospira bushae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae,[1]
The size of the shell attains 3.3 mm, its diameter 2.7 mm.
(Original description) The shell resembles Lissospira proxima Tryon, 1888 but it is larger and features a less elevated spire. It comprises nearly four white, well-rounded, smooth, and polished whorls. A well-marked but not deep suture is present.
The shell has a perforate umbilicus with no spiral striations around it. The base is convex.
The aperture is nearly circular, and the lips are united over the body by a thin layer of enamel. The margins are thin and entire. The inner lip lies close to but is not reflected over the umbilicus. [2]
