---|---|---|
A. V. Mazaev 2015 | The shell is medium-sized and subulitid, consisting of approximately six rapidly expanding whorls. The ratio of the shell height to its maximum diameter is about 1.37. The spire outline is straight. The pleural angle is 75°. The aperture height is less than the maximum shell diameter. The shell diameter to the aperture height ratio is 1.2. The suture is very thin and depressed. The whorl surfaces are dis tinctly convex and smooth. The aperture is relatively wide. The ratio of the aperture height to its width is 1.5. The umbilicus is absent. The columella is massive, weakly corkscrewlike. Its height is almost half of the aperture height. The columellar fold is absent. The growth lines are not preserved. |
