Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. L. Batten 1995Turreted forms with well-developed spiral ornament on base. Upper whorl surface flat to slightly concave. There may or may not be a spiral lirae just below suture. Sutures shallow. Upper margin of selenizone is a spiral cord as is lower margin at periphery. Periphery is either a sharp keel, giving the shell a more turreted appearance, or marked only by lower selenizone margin cord, making the shell whorl profile more rounded. Just below periphery there is a large spiral cord below which the whorls embrace. Two or more spiral cords on the flatly rounded to rounded base. Anomphalus. Columellar lip straight and at juncture with lower lip there may be a siphonal trough.
