Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. A. Darragh 2011 | Shell solid, of medium to large size for genus, subglobose, covered with glaze. Spire scarcely visible, covered with thick callus. Posterior canal wide, sides rounded, deeply notched dorsally, sides extended posteriorly into prominent thick flanges extending from base. Anterior canal deeply incised, sides rounded, reflexed dorsally, supported by very thick lateral flanges extending from base. Aperture somewhat sinuous, narrow; outer lip with 24–32 teeth, markedly decreasing in strength at posterior two-thirds. Columella with 9–29 weak, short teeth, present on anterior two-thirds. Fossula weakly depressed, subcircular, bounded anteriorly by weak terminal ridge. Dorsum coarsely dimpled on some specimens. |
