Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. R. Saul and R. L. Squires 1998Slender, acicular multiwhorled nerineids of moderately large length but small diameter, with concave whorl profile, protruding sutural ridges (suture between two spiral ribs), and granulate spiral costae. Interior with one palatal plait, one or two columellar plaits, and a weak or absent parietal plait. No umbilicus.
