Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. A. Neubauer et al. 2013 | Glossy ovoid shell with largely convex whorls and widely ovoid, detached aperture.
Drop-shaped, smooth shell with up to seven whorls. Shell height attains up to 7 mm; width 3.5 mm. The protoconch is broad trochiform with immersed initial part and comprises c. 1 highly convex whorl with granular surface and a maximum diameter of 250 lm. No distinct border to the teleoconch is developed. Usually whorls are regularly convex; in some individuals, they may exhibit a more stepped architecture. The sutures are moderately incised. The last whorl grades into a slightly convex base and makes up somewhat more than half of shell height. The aperture is regularly and widely ovoid. In some specimens, it may begin to detach early resulting in a stronger inclined growth direction of the last whorl (Fig. 6A). In either case, it usually becomes detached in fully grown specimens, forming a wide umbilicus. The outer lip is sharply edged and slightly everted in latest ontogeny. In lateral view, it displays two emarginations (anterior and posterior) producing a sinusoidal profile. |
