Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Kiel and M. d. C. Perrilliat 2001The conical protoconch has four convex whorls, embryonic part about 0.13 mm across, the larval shell is 2 mm high and 1.5 mm wide. The teleoconch is formed of six whorls with a decreasing number of ribs towards the later whorls. The last whorl shows no ornament except for two strong tubercles behind the aperture. A large grooved callus develops from the aperture up the spire and curves downwards just before reaching the apex, leaving two or three initial whorls free of callus; the grooved callus continues down the spire and ends on the last whorl just behind the two strong tubercles. A large lobe of callus develops on the abaxial side on the spire. The largest specimen is 30 mm high and 18 mm wide.
