Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. Dolin and P. Lozouet 2004la coquille (Fig. 11a-11c) est subglobuleuse, a bords calleux arrondis. La spire est legerement saillante au centre d'une aire pseudombiliquee. Le canal siphonal est canalicule, formant un pontet court clans le plan de la sole ventrale. Le pli terminal est mince, plongeant, horde d'une lamelle longitudinale. La lame interne, courte et maigre, a terminaison en goutte d' eau, fait saillie clans l'ouverture. La fossula est legerement reduite chez I' espece actuelle, mais elle est nettement concave, portant a son bord de rates denticules, peu funicules. Laire columellaire est lisse. Langulation est abattue; les denticules columellaires prenant naissance au niveau de!' angulation, se develop pent abaperturalement sur la sole ventrale qui est regulierement convexe. Le canal exhalant est bien delimite, ouvert adapicalement, et forme un mufle calleux, saillant. La Ievre externe est contractee en son quart anterieur.
