Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. Dolin and P. Lozouet 2004La coquille est affaissee, a bords fortement margines. La spire est saillante. Le canal siphonal droit, canalicule, est allonge et forme un pontet etroit, bien degage, legerement rehausse par rapport a la sole ventrale calleuse. Le pli terminallamelleux, fortement chanfreine, puissant, est courbe et plongeant, en position Iegerement transverse ; il se prolonge par une courte et minuscule lame interne, fine, aciculee, faissant saillie clans I' ouverrure. La fossula, plane, nettement degagee du pli, se limite a une petite languette bordee, lisse, comme I' aire columellaire. I: angulation est abrupte, la denticulation de la levre interne, incisfe, courant a ses extrfmitfs sur la sole ventrale. Lar€:te adapicale forme une extansion lamelleuse, fpaisse, en position pratiquement adaxiale. Le canal exhalant est canalicule, ouvert adapicalement ; il forme un pontet court mais relativement bien degage. La levre externe est marginee, pincee en son quart anterieur.
