Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. W. Durham 1937 | Holotype (incomplete) large, moder- ately heavy; approximately two well- rounded whorls, including body whorl, remain; sutures rather deep; ornamented by 14 to 16 very prominent, rather close set varices that are strongly reflexed posteriorly so that in a cross-section pro- file they are hook-shaped; at the suture varices are reflexed against those of pre- ceding whorl; spirally ornamented by about 14 prominent rounded threads slightly narrower than corresponding interspaces; for a slight distance below suture, in addition, there are several very fine spiral threads; in interspaces be- tween the larger spirals there are three secondary spiral threads of much finer size; near base of the well-rounded body whorl there is a moderately heavy spiral marking the slight angulation of the basal disk; aperture broadly elliptical. |
