Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. J. Vendrasco et al. 2011 | Shell elongate, highly laterally compressed. Sharply concave sub-apical margin that terminates in a short sub-apical shelf. Internal and external ornament of comarginal rugae, less prominent on inner surface of shell. Typically a constriction on internal mould just above supra-apical margin. Apex curved a little more than 1/4 of a complete whorl, although some specimens show less coiling. High degree of variation in lateral profile.
Shell elongate (c. 1.75 times longer than tall), laterally compressed (c. 5 times longer than wide); coiled less than half a whorl; dorsal margin strongly convex; margin under apex strongly concave; raised, narrow sub-apical shelf, curving slightly dorsally; tapered towards the sub-apical margin (Figure 15.3-4). Faint internal ridges become less prominent at anterior and posterior margins. Protoconch smooth, somewhat bulbous (Figure 15.2-3). |
