Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P. Bouchet et al. 2011Shell medium-sized to large or very large, normally 20 – 50 mm, up to 170 mm high, conical or biconical, with narrow aperture and short siphonal canal. Shell with considerable internal remodelling due to inner wall resorption. Spiral sculpture usually developed, axial sculpture absent or in form of shoulder tuberculation. Anal sinus on subsutural ramp, shallow to moderately deep. Operculum present, small, with terminal nucleus. Radula of marginal hypodermic teeth, generally harpoon-shaped, barbed at tip, often with complex inner structure of folds and serration, base small and swollen, tooth canal opening (sub)terminally, rarely laterally. Subradular membrane vestigial. Teeth can be attached to the membrane by long or very long flexible ligament. Tooth wall forms several overlapping layers.
