Protoconch: heterostrophic, globose/helicoid (type A sensu Van Aartsen 1987), transaxial; 1.7 whorls; diameter about 260 µm; surface smooth; transition to the teleoconch marked by a simple lip.
Occurrence. Box-corer sample BC72 (1 specimen). Height: about 2.5 mm.
Distribution and habitat. Eulimella scillae is distributed from northern Norway and Iceland to the Barents Sea and southward to the Caribbean, the Canaries, Cape Verde and the Mediterranean; it dwells on muddy sand, sand, clay, shell gravel or mixed bottoms from infralittoral to bathyal depths (Fretter et al. 1986; Poppe & Goto 1991; Barash & Danin 1992; Di Geronimo et al. 2001; Petersen 2004; Høisaeter 2009, 2014).
Fossil record. Pliocene and Pleistocene of Italy and Denmark; Holocene of Denmark (Monterosato 1872; Di Geronimo 1979a; Di Geronimo et al. 1982; Menesini & Ughi 1983; Di Geronimo & La Perna 1997; Petersen 2004; Høisaeter 2014).
