Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. A. Leanza 1993Shell large, ovate to subquadrate. Flank ornamented by evenly spaced, tuberculate, concave costae. Area ornamented by transversely elongated tubercles in the proximal portion, and by transverse costae or rugae in its mid- and distal part. These may well cross onto the upper part of the posterior flank. Marginal and escutcheon carinae mostly defined in the umbonal region by rows of tubercles, then indistinct. Escutcheon mostly ornamented with the same pattern as found on the area (Dietrich, 1933; Saveliev, 1958; Camacho and Olivero, 1985).
