Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| W. O. Cernohorsky 1971 | Species of Proterato differ from Lachryma s.str. only in the absence of surface sculpture and a slightly deeper and more produced fossula. Species of Proterato are confined to Eocene-Pliocene deposits of Australia and New Zealand. |
