Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Marquet 1997Small, very slender turriculate shell with shallow suture. The protoconch is smooth, paucispiral and sideways heterostrophic. The teleoconch consists of twelve glossy, flat-sided whorls. The aperture is square and pointed adapically. The outer lip is slightly sinuous. A small tooth may occur on the adapical side of the aperture. The ornament comprises fourteen strong, clearly delimited axial ribs, which are twice as broad as the intercostal spaces. They run opisthoclinally, the lower part being more obtuse in relation to the shell axis. In the intercostal spaces, two depressions occur. The base of the last whorl is smooth.
