Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Doyle et al. 1994Hastitidae with an elongated, spicular to feebly hastate, compressed to moderately compressed rostrum. Apical section long, tapering slowly to an acute, needlelike apex. Rostrum-bearing, incised, triple longitudinal lateral furrows of Hastites-like form; apex commonly striated. Alveolus shallow (one-eighth to one-twentieth of rostrum length), ortholineate. Phragmocone structure as in Hastites. Earliest juvenile rostra conorostrid, increasing rapidly in length and obtaining spicular or subhastate form early in ontogeny.
