D e s c r i p t i o n. Shell wide-cylindrical, up to 11.5 mm height, spiral striations very narrow, engraved, apex impressed and wide, mostly umbilicated, columellar margin narrow, oblique (Figs 7G–J).

Anatomy. Male copulatory system consists of the narrow prostate and long penial sac, which is joined with prostate by a narrow proximal part (Fig. 3A). Lateral teeth have uneven denticles, which do not form a plate on the base of the tooth (Figs 7A, E). Rachidians bilobate, slightly convex, equipped with short widely spaced denticles on cutting edge, upper-lateral ends without notches (Figs 7B–D).

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Arctic species, distributed from Baffin Bay eastward to the East-Siberian Sea.

N o t e s. C. scalptus differs from both C. occultus and C. validus in shell, penial and radular morphology (see Table 1). It is not found to the east of the East-Siberian Sea.
