Shells of Cerion uva can reach a length of 24 mm.[2] This species shows extensive, geographical variations in whorl size.[3] The shape of the shell of this species changes very much as they grow. In adults, the shells are beehive-shaped, and have an expanded labrum.[2][4][5]
Distributionedit
This species is endemic to the islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire; many populations are quite different in terms of morphology and represent the diverse makeup of infraspecific taxa.[6]
In 2014, the constituent forms of Cerion uva were reviewed, and included:[6]

¶ : Denotes that this name was published as an infrasubspecific name intended to distinguish populations within subspecies, thus being an unavailable name according to the ICZN.
