It was corrected as Volutodermatinae by Bouchet et al. (2005).

It was assigned to Pholidotomidae by Bouchet et al. (2005); and to Volutidae by Sohl (1964), Saul and Popenoe (1993) and Saul and Squires (2008).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
L. R. Saul and R. L. Squires 2008Shell elongate or broadly fusiform to coniform; spire shorter than aperture; ultimate whorl large, comprising most of shell, its base not contracted but passing with gradual slope into long anterior canal; protoconch small, multiwhorled; columella with one to five columellar folds; sculpture commonly strong and of both axial and spiral ribs, but may be reduced.
