Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| C. L. Powell and R. Houart 2021 | A large, heavy-shelled muricid variable in most of its sculptural features, but which can be distinguished from other similar looking genera by 1) its heavy shell, 2) an aperture that is bluntly pointed at both ends, and 3) the siphonal fasciole, which has a wide, shallow, ventrally open channel that points downward, easily separating it from other genera. |
