Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. B. Blodgett et al. 2010Relatively large Stenoloron (Stenoloron) with selenizone slightly above the shell periphery; pleural angle variable, ranging from 89° to 108°; protoconch not preserved; whorls relatively rapidly expanding and reaching up to five in number; whorl profile strongly convex between sutures, rounded, but slightly flattened on upper part of final whorl; sutures moderately incised; periphery situated at about mid-whorl height; base rounded with deep umbilicus; inner lip poorly preserved and outer lip not preserved; selenizone deeply incised, bounded by two strong lirae, the lower of which is situated just above the periphery; ornament composed of prosocline, weakly convex-forward collabral lirae above the selenizone which start perpendicular to the upper suture; collabral lirae on the basal whorl surface are weaker but appear to be even more weakly convex-forward in orientation, starting nearly perpendicular to the lower bounding lira of the selenizone and gradually increasing in backward declivity. Dimensions of holotype: width, 25.4+ mm; height, 19.2 mm.
