Diagnosis

R. L. Batten 1995High-spired pleurotomarians with a nearly vertical, relatively wide and concave selenizone located just under periphery and marked by upper selenizone margin. Shells slightly pupaeform with whorls embracing on base. Early whorls smooth with embryonic selenizone located midwhorl. Upper whorl surface flat to slightly concave with surface forming a 90˚ angle with axis. Shell periphery high on whorl and marked by upper selenizone margin. Selenizone relatively wide and concave with upper margin a more strongly developed spiral cord than lower. Outer whorl face nearly vertical, slightly
