Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. S. Cataldo 2014First teleoconch whorl with six very fine, evenly spaced spiral threads; the third spiral thread— numbered from the apex to the anteriormost point of the aperture—turning into the adapical carina towards the second teleoconch whorl; abapical carina appearing towards the third telecoconch whorl and deriving from the sixth spiral thread. Posterior labral process thin, straight to slightly curved to the left, attached to the spire and growing beyond its apex. Lateral labral processes thin, straight to slightly curved and diverging approximately 55–758. Posterior lateral labral process bent adapically, anterior lateral labral process bent abapically. Rostrum very long and thin, straight to slightly bent towards the left.
