Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. Dolin 1991The Cypraedia s. I. have a multispiral (sinusigerifonn) planktolrophic protoconch with an obliquely decussate sculpture typical of the Ovulidae (Pezant, 1910, pl. 14, fig. 14a-c) and not a vertically squared sculpture as in the Cypraeidae nor perforate with a hollow columella as in the Eratoidae.
