Differential diagnosis. Compared with S. rillionaae gen. et sp. nov., S. shijiae gen. et sp. nov. and S. phoebe gen. et sp. nov., S. candida gen. et sp. nov. shell long pyramidal and third to fifth whorls with faint spiral ribs. Compared with S. multicostata gen. et sp. nov., S. xuchengweii gen. et sp. nov., S. phoebe gen. et sp. nov. and S. quanyuzhangi gen. et sp. nov., S. candida gen. et sp. nov. shell surface without nodules. Compared with S. boyuwangi gen. et sp. nov., S. candida gen. et sp. nov. with long pyramidal shell and with two row of nodules. Etymology. The species name "candida " originates from the English word "candid," used to describe the species' immaculately white shell surface. We suggest the Chinese common name as " ĭ尔 玛水玉Dz ".
