It looks like lienardi according to "Olividae, Fibel der Schalen" by G.
Sterba, 2003.
That book has superb illustrations, but is in German (and has a difficult
index with species listed by genus, in this case Eburna)
lienardi is more squat, has a white aperture (vs. yellow to orange) and
there are differences in max height, columellar callus, and (usually)
location of the ancillid groove
