Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. V. Mazaev 2011The shell is large, turriform, composed of over ten weakly convex whorls. The suture is impressed, very thin, and shallow. The whorl face profile is pendant: moderately convex in the lower part and moderately concave in the upper part. The whorl face is ornamented with four distinct equally wide spiral lirae. The second spiral lira separates the upper concave and lower convex surfaces of the whorl face and forms a weak shoulder. The fourth lira clearly separates the whorl face from the whorl base and forms a weak carina. Three upper lirae are located approximately at midwhorl and are grouped, separated by even spaces. The fourth (lower) lira is shifted directly to the lower suture, while the lower space between lirae is always slightly wider than the spaces between three upper lirae. The space between the suture and the upper lira is 1.5–2 times wider than the spaces between the three upper lirae and forms a wide, slightly concave, smooth spiral band. The whorl base is weakly convex and smooth. Growth lines are indiscernible. The protoconch, apical whorls and aperture are not preserved.
