Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| P. Yu. Parkhaev 2006 | The shell is cap-shaped, evenly and rapidly expanding from the apex towards the aperture, wide (about 0.77 times as wide as long), and rather low (about twice as long as high). The apex is pointed, shifted backwards to extend beyond the posterior shell edge for a distance of one-sixth of the shell length, and slightly bent downwards. The anterior field of the shell is evenly convex and flattens towards the aperture, the lateral fields are slightly convex, the posterior field is short and slightly concave. The aperture is simple, without sinus, widely egg-shaped, with widely rounded anterior and slightly extended posterior margins. The outer ornamentation of the shell is unknown. The protoconch is unknown. The surface of the internal mold has granulated microornamentation represented by small cylindrical granules, about 15 μm in diameter and up to 20 μm long. The axes of the granules are perpendicular to the surface of the mold. The granules may occasionally accumulate in the apical area of the mold (Pl. 4, fig. 2e).
