Weir 1925Shell trochoid; spire of five slightly convex whorls; suture sharply incised; sinus-band peripheral in body whorl, coincident with suture in earlier whorls, and limited above and below by small but well-defined keels; ornamentation of fine spiral (transcrescent) and axial (concrescent) ribs, intersecting to form a beaded reticulation; below the suture there is an impressed area, consisting of two spiral ribs, rather larger than the others, but beaded in the same way by intersection with the concrescent elements of the ornamentation; band ornamented with transverse,, sickle-shaped ribs.
