Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D.K. Pandey et al. 2012 (Perisphinctes (Arisphinctes) rota) Shells moderately large, evolute, incomplete. Whorl section slightly compressed, suboval to subquadrate with maximum thickness at one-fourth of whorl height, and rounded venter (Fig. 31A). Umbilical wall indistinct, umbilical margin obtusely rounded. Ornamentation consists of gradually varicostate, moderately sharp, dense (inner whorls) to more distant (outer whorls; Fig. 31B) primary ribs originating at umbilical wall near the umbilical margin with rursiradiate orientation then becoming prorsiradiate near the umbilical margin. Primary ribs branch regularly into two secondaries just below the ventrolateral shoulder, which cross the venter with slight forward-directed convexity. Ventral region of outer whorls almost smooth. Ribbing density low to moderate, increasing slightly from diameters of 60 mm to 110 mm (Fig. 32). Constrictions distinct, numbering at least three per whorl.
