Diagnosis
Reference | Diagnosis | |
---|---|---|
R. L. Squires 2015 | Shell size medium, up to height 62 mm height (spire incomplete). Fusiform with angulate whorls, spire moderately high, last whorl subquadrate, neck constricted, siphonal canal approximately half of shell height. Apical angle 72° to 84°. Protoconch 1.5 to 1.75 whorls, lowly domal, smooth. Teleoconch up to approximately 7.5 whorls. Suture impressed and can show variation in dip on spire whorls. Early on spire, spiral riblets develop, and convex whorls transition into shouldered whorls consisting of ramp, weak carina with nodes on shoulder, and several unnoded spiral riblets (with spiral lirae in interspaces) anterior to carina but slightly weaker than carina. Spiral riblets also present, at this stage, on dorsal side of long, anterior siphonal canal. All subsequent whorls covered by spiral riblets becoming increasingly stronger with growth. Antepenultimate and penultimate whorls with single, prominently angulate carina bearing many lenticular nodes. Shell anterior to carina becoming less convex and more straight sided with growth. Last whorl with two or three (rarely four) prominently angulate carinae bearing numerous spinose, pustulose, or lenticular nodes. Aperture subquadrate. Outer lip simple but varix can be present, as well as several closely spaced varices near outer lip. Penultimate whorl can have single varix on left side of whorl. Varices can be somewhat aligned but not continuous. Outer lip without lirae on interior. Columella smooth, except for single rare pseudofold near base of columella on at least one species. Inner lip can have inductra. Siphonal canal long, straight, and smooth. Growth line opisthocline near carinae, opisthocyrt on ramp. |
