Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. Matsumoto 1959 | The shell shows extremely slow tapering, having nearly parallel sided outline in latera1, siphonal and antisiphonal views. It is much higher than broad, elliptical in cross section, with only slightly convex, or flattened, nearly parallel, flanks, moderately rounded venter, and broadly rounded dorsum. In some cases even a shallow depression is discernible along the median line of the flank. There is a row of tubercles along the dorsolateral shoulder. They are much apart from one another and typically, but not always, elongated in parallel to the elongated axis of the shell. The suture is simple, with a number of relatively shallow incisions, which give rise to mi皿te, roundish branches of saddles. The external and I包teral 8addles are almost equally broad, bifid, and subrectangular in general outline.
The two lateral lobes are much llarrower than the lateral saddle between them. The external lobe (E)is broad; the antisiphonal lobe (I)is very small;the first lateral lobe (L) is the deepest of all. |
