Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. L. Batten 1995 | Small, compressed bellerophontiform shells. Whorl expansion rate moderate, forming an evenly developed, nearly equiangular spiral shell. Selenizone flush to slightly raised above dorsum. Lateral lips slightly reflexed in area of umbilici and nearly straight over dorsum to selenizone where they form a rectangular-shaped sinus. Selenizone is flattened to convex and has straight lunulae with little arcing. Selenizone margins are sharply indented, narrow troughs. Growth lines are slightly imbricated and, on some specimens, clustered into broad, flat ribs. Anomphalus. |
