Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. S. Peel 2019Sclerites varying from bilaterally symmetrical, laterally compressed, planispirally coiled with up to three whorls, through shallowly curved and laterally compressed, to almost straight with circular cross section. Coiled morphotypes open coiled or with whorls in contact, often with a spiral keel or carina, or a shallow spiral depression, on periphero-lateral areas. Multilayered with growth lamellae overlapping lateral areas from the basal (abapical) surface. Lamellae compact externally but may be only loosely in contact internally, with cavities, and possibly a circumperipheral canal.
