Reference	Diagnosis
B. Kensley and J. Pether 1986	Protoconch of H smooth whorls; 6!- 7 postnatal whorls. Spire 1,3-1,5 times length of aperture. Sculpture consisting of rounded axial ribs and fine spirallirae; axial ribs slightly oblique, occasionally perpendicular, rounded, with distinct shoulder well below upper suture line, reaching lower suture. Postnatal whorl 3 with 9 axial ribs, 6-9 spiral lirae; ribs increasing to 11 on body whorl, lirae to 10-18 on penultimate whorl; outer lip with 20-24 spirallirae running on to outer surface of siphonal canal. Lirae equal in width on spire, becoming broader on body whorl and siphonal canal. Anal sinus in outer lip shallow. Columella callus smooth; anterior siphonal canal short, well marked.
