Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. Sharpe 1853 | Shell discoidal; with few whorls, flattened on the sides, and rounded on the back, crossed by eight deep, very slightly flexuous furrows, between which are many short, delicate ribs bending forward, and well defined on the back, fading away in the middle of the sides of the whorl: umbilicus rather small, leaving a fourth of the inner whorls visible: aperture semi-oval. | |
| W. J. Kennedy 1971 | A small, rather involute and round-whorled Puzosia with 8 almost straight shallow constrictions per whorl, the outer parts of the sides bearing very fine flexuous ribs between constrictions. |
