Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. A. Darragh 2011Shell of large size for genus, solid, globosely pyriform, abruptly contracted anteriorly to short, narrow anterior canal. Spire projecting slightly, almost entirely enveloped by last whorl, covered with thick callus. Posterior canal short, deeply incised, reflexed to the left. Anterior canal deeply incised, with rounded sides, reflexed dorsally, supported laterally by very short, narrow flanges. Aperture sinuous, slightly widened and sloping steeply inwards before anterior canal. Outer lip with 28–36 teeth extending along entire lip; inner lip with 15–32 teeth extending along entire lip on most specimens; weaker posteriorly on some specimens and on few specimens extending only along half of lip. Fossula well developed, broad, relatively deeply depressed, bounded anteriorly by weak terminal ridge.
