Distribution: From Mauritania to Angola. Infralitoral and circalitoral (Peñas & Rolan 2002)
Remarks: Kongsrudia approximans (Dautzenberg 1913a) show a sculpture similar to K. gruveli, but
whorls are more convex and not turreted. The axial ribs and spiral ridges have narrower interspaces and the
ridges are broader and continue all the way to the upper suture. The riblets seen on the inner side of the outer
lip are not as prominent in K. approximans. Kongsrudia rolani n. sp. is similar to K. gruveli, for comparison,
see this species.
