Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D.K. Pandey et al. 2012 Shell small to moderately large, incomplete, septate till end, evolute and depressed. Whorl section subcircular with moderately to acutely rounded lanks merging smoothly into wide, slightly arched venter (Fig. 11A-E). Umbilical wall short, moderately distinct, steeply inclined. Ornamentation consists of varicostate, moderately thick, sharp primary ribs, numbering about 40 per whorl (Fig. 12A) and originating near the umbilical suture or the middle of the umbilical wall with more or less rectiradiate orientation and becoming very slightly prorsiradiate around the umbilical margin. Primaries branch regularly into two or three iner secondaries at the ventrolateral region (Fig. 11F). They cross the venter either straight or with slight forward or backward directed convexity. Such convexity is more common on outer whorls. Constrictions distinct, more strongly inclined towards the aperture than the ribs (forming an angle of around 20˚ with primary ribs), numbering at least two per whorl.
