Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. A. Neubauer et al. 2013Comprising small and rather sturdy species, always with reticulate protoconch and convex to step-like whorls.

Minute shells, usually not exceeding 3.5 mm in height. The protoconch is always wrinkled (reticulate), usually with strongest expression in early ontogeny and fading out towards the mostly indistinct transition to the teleoconch; it consists of somewhat more than one whorl. More or less prominent, prosocline growth lines cover the teleoconch. The shell consists of up to five whorls, which are usually strongly convex and sometimes form a stepped spire. In most cases, the last whorl makes up more than two-thirds of shell height. The aperture is ovoid, usually everted and sometimes conspicuously detached from the base. Occasionally, it may be particularly thickened. An umbilicus may occur depending on grade of detachment, thickening and growth style.
