Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. L. Titus 2000Species is characterized by numerous (30-40) medium-strength, slightly prosiradiate ribs with a sub-angu- lar bend at 10 mm diameter. Lack of constrictions and rel- atively narrow umbilicus (U/D = 0.25 at D = 10-15 mm) and intrasulcate ventral area also diagnostic. Conchs with D > 30 mm cannot be differentiated from similar species.
