Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. B. Knight 1941Small Conus-like gastropods with a short, turretted spire and subcylindrical body whorl; whorl profile between sutures flat and subhorizontal above an almost right-angled shoulder and flat and subvertical below it, below the line of suture, very gently arched and tapering gradually; no well-defined base; columella anomphalous; sutures rectangular; aperture very narrow and elongate, possibly with an anterior siphonal notch; columellar lip short, the columella seemingly with a strong columellar fold; parietal wall very long, probably, but not certainly, with a very thin inductura which may have extended well beyond the aperture; outer lip thin seemingly gently arched forward from the shoulder downward; nucleus not well known; a collarlike structure above the suture seemingly extending on the body whorl well beyond the aperture; ornamentation lacking though there is a faint suggestion of very fine revolving striae. The holotype with a little of the anterior extremity lost has 5J whorls and measures about 8J mm. in height and 4 mm. in width.
