Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Bouchet et al. 2011Shell generally small, 5–25 mm, usually 7–15 mm high, shortly claviform, with relatively low spire and a short, truncated, poorly differentiated siphonal canal. Subsutural ramp usually poorly differentiated. Axial sculpture almost always present, usually as strong sinuate ribs. Spiral sculpture normally weak or obsolete, often with glossy shell surface. Anal sinus on subsutural slope, weak to moderately deep, often constrained by callus. Protoconch of up to 3.5 medially carinate but otherwise smooth whorls when multispiral, but usually paucispiral and smooth. Operculum with terminal nucleus. Radular formula: 1-0-0-0-1. Marginal teeth duplex, with lanceolate major limb and usually narrow accessory limb, which is inserted in a shallow socket. Major limb often with angulation lateral to the place of accessory limb insertion. Rarely (some Paradrillia, cf. Kilburn, 1988, Fig. 17; Inkinga, Fig. 19B) the additional limb is of similar size to the major limb and the teeth become trough-shaped in transverse section, with a collar near the base (arrows in Fig. 19B). In several species of Horaiclavus the radular apparatus is absent.
