If no rank is listed, the taxon is considered an unranked clade in modern classifications. Ranks may be repeated or presented in the wrong order because authors working on different parts of the classification may disagree about how to rank taxa.

Diagnosis

D.K. Pandey et al. 2012Specimens small, fragments of phragmocones. Whorl section subrounded (inner whorls) to oval (outer whorls; Fig. 35), slightly compressed with maximum thickness of the whorl slightly above the umbilical margin. Ornamentation consists of gradually varicostate, very ine (inner whorls) to moderately coarse and distant (outer whorls) primary ribs, originating at the umbilical suture in a slightly rursiradiate fashion, bending forwards on the rounded umbilical margin, and running prorsiradiately on the slightly arched (inner whorls) to lat lanks (outer whorls). Primaries branch into two or three secondaries, the third being mostly free, slightly below the ventrolateral shoulder. Occasionally secondaries of one primary connect with two adjacent primaries on the other side of the specimen (”galloping”). Secondaries cross the venter with slight forward-directed convexity. Constrictions present.
