Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Pan 1997Shell thick, elongate-subglobose, whorls slightly compressed on the flanks; dorsum rounded-convex; aperture depressed and reniform, expanded at the sides; umbilicus closed. Surface ornamented by about 22 relatively narrow lirae, conspicuously grooved carina between two lirae, in addition to a variable number of slender incipient linae at both extremities of the axis. Unornamented area of the dorsum semielliptical in form, the median linae not reaching so far forward as those at the sides. Trace of the selenizone, usually occurring as a shallow V-shaped depression, may be seen clearly on this area. Aperture narrowly reniform, outer lip unknown.
