Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. S. Peel 2016Type species of Liraloron with about five whorls; low turbiniform with incremental angle about 95°; seemingly anomphalous or narrowly phaneromphalous. Upper whorl surface shallowly convex, shouldered below sutures which are incised and embracing the previous whorl at its periphery. Outer whorl passing with uniform convexity onto base. Outer lip sinuate, with a narrow slit generating a slightly raised selenizone at about 75% of the whorl height (Fig. 9A), about mid-height of exposed whorl face. Ornamentation of numerous fine spiral threads crossed by fine growth lines which are shallowly convex above selenizone (Fig. 9E), more strongly prosocyrt below.
