Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. Fehse and B. Landau 2002 | Shell large, solid and elongated oval. Spire covered by callus. Body whorl elongated-globose and rounded, almost 95% of total height. Terminals rounded, anterior produced, posterior weakly so. Dorsum rounded, completely covered by 20-22 strong, irregular ribs, which are somewhat wavy and frequently interrupted on both dorsal sides. A strong, wide, smooth dorsal sulcus extends longitudinally across the centre of the dorsum, bisecting all of the ribs, the latter forming prominent tubercles adjacent to the furrow. Base almost straight, with the posterior terminal recurved. The aperture is wide, becoming even wider in the anterior portion. Outer lip somewhat broadened, convex, widest in mid-portion, becoming narrower towards the terminals and regularly rounded. Outer margin angularly callused. The lip bears 13-16 strong, equal teeth. Siphonal and anal canals follow the shell profile.
Columella convex, tapering inwards, with the carinal ridge limited to the fossular region. Columella bearing 14-16 ribs. Fossula weakly concave and poorly delimitedfrom the rest of the columella. A colour pattern is preserved on all specimens; it consists of a beige background on the dorsum and a white base and lip. Darker brown patches are superimposed on the beige background of the dorsum, at either side of the sulcus. The patches are arranged in three groups, at either extremity of the dorsal sulcus and middorsally. |
