Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Gründel and H. A. Kollmann 2012The figured specimen has a maximum diameter of 4.5 mm and a total height of 2.7 mm. The first whorls are planispirally coiled, convex and probably smooth. The steepness of the coiling increases gradually in the final whorls of larger specimens. A carina developing shortly afterwards is reinforced by a prominent spiral rib. On later whorls, the lower whorl face bears two additional spiral ribs and another one at the margin towards the base. Two indistinct spiral ribs each are developed below the adapical suture and on the base. Axial ribs appear gradually, first on the lower whorl face and on the base, later also on the upper whorl face. They extend from the adapical suture to the large umbilicus. They are weak in the beginning but increase rapidly in strength and are finally bulging and prominent. There are 12 axial ribs on the final whorl of the figured specimen; these ribs are noded at the intersections with spiral ribs. The aperture is rounded.
