Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. M. Rohr et al. 2008 | High-spired anomphalous shell, slowly expanding with many angular whorls, narrow bilineate selenizone at midwhorl.
High-spired (10° on first 10–12 whorls, then nearly parallel sides), slightly cyrtoconoid, slowly expanding, with many angular whorls, anomphalous shell with a slightly raised band at the subangular midwhorl, a narrow bilineate selenizone with prominent, equal-sized keels; narrowly incised suture bordered below by small cord, which seems to become more prominent over ontogeny, likely as a result of increased translation; concave to flat above and below midwhorl, base convex; apertural lip unknown, but growth lines indicate a shallow sinus that is much broader on the left side than on the right, beginning near the selenizone on the right ramp, but below the base of the left ramp. Width of whorl between sutures twice the height of whorl. |
