Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. Beets 1986 | The shell is subpyriform, with humped smooth dorsum, maximum height adapically to the centre; the base flattened, the lateral margins with a distinct tendency to angulation adapically to the hump, the sides covered by callous glaze except for an irregularly shaped area on the hump; the spire does not project. Adapical extremity projecting, lammelliform, recurved and distinctly edged and elevated around the deeply notched outlet. Basal extremity projecting narrowly, its edge is slightly upturned, notch shallow. Aperture narrow, curved. Labial and columellar teeth not extended on to the base: labial teeth short and strong, numbering 15 in the holotype, and 16 in the paratype, lying at regular intervals. Holotype with 12 columellar teeth, a weak thirteenth between the ninth and tenth tooth from the adapical end of the row, and an obsolete fourteenth at the abapical end. Paratype with 15 columellar teeth and abapically a very obsolete sixteenth. Fossula well developed, narrow. |
