Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. Marquet 1997Moderately large, convolute shell with very narrow aperture. The spire is not visible in adult specimens. The ornament consists of about thirty-three concentric ribs on the dorsal and ventral sides of the shell. On the dorsal part, an axial depression is visible, and ribs, which often bifurcate, usually end at this depression.
