Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H.O. Fletcher 1958 (Planikeeneia minor) | Moderately small, low-spired and depressed gastropods, five to six whorls of low convexity, narrowly phaneromphalous; sutures distinct, shallow; whorl profile sub-angulate, sharply angulate in steinkerns, upper surface broadly convex, slightly shouldered below the upper suture; a pseudo-selenizone developed on the periphery; lower surface of whorl flatly convex; columella lip thickened, reflexed, increasing in strength towards its junction with the slightly curved lower lip; character of outer lip not observed; aperture oval, obliquely transverse; ornamentation numerous fine, transverse lirae, 18-30 in 5 mm, directed obliquely backward to the periphery where they bend sharply back and forward again to form a narrow apparent band or pseudo selenizone; below the periphery the lirae extend to the umbilicns in a somewhat sigmoidal manner. | |
| B. Runnegar 1969 | Large, relatively low-spired Keeneia having slightly to distinctly angular whorl periphery situated well below the mid-height of the whorl. |
