Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. Fehse 2011Shell large sized, solid, inflated and ovate. Body whorl pyriform, inflated and rounded, about 80% of total height, with both terminals produced and separated from the dorsal elevation by a constriction. Terminal tips posteriorly blunt, anteriorly protruded. Dorsum elevated with highest point at posterior third. Mid-dorsal sulcus obscured. Ventrum convex with outer margin rounded. Aperture fairly narrow, widened towards fossular section, anteriorly straight, posteriorly curved. Labrum narrow, widest at mid-portion, ventrally convex. Inner labral margin rounded, curved, bears 19-24 fine denticles. Outer labral margin roundly callused, shouldered.Denticles continued as folds onto labrum, becoming finer and more close-set onto dorsum and ventrum, terminate onto parietal lip as fine denticles. Parietal lip slightly callused, bears 20- 25 denticles, anterior denticles coarser, more prominent. Siphonal and anal canals indented.Columellaslightly convex, relatively narrow and tapering steeply inwards. Inner adaxial carinalridge absent. Fossula less developed, short, indented just above inner fossular margin, not clearly delimited from the rest of the columella. Inner fossular margin callused, slightly protruded, roundly edged. Juvenile shell grid usually visible on columella.

Range of variation - Shell inflation varies considerably. Dorsal sulcus sometimes indistinct but mostly obsolete.
