Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| K. Bandel 2007 | The cone-shaped shell consists of about 9 whorls and is up to 19 mm high. It has a smooth body whorl and a wide outer lip without stromboid notch. The spire is pointed with shallow sutures and with ornament of coarse axial ribs crossed by fine spiral lines. Succeeding whorls conceal much of the former ones. At the shoulder the shell wall is thicker than at other parts of the shell (HARZHAUSER, 2004: pl. 11, figs. 1 & 2). The reason for that lies in the construction of the inner lip that consists of callus that is thickest in the posterior part of the aperture (COSSMANN, 1904: pl. 2, fig. 1; WENZ, 1938: fig. 2750). |
