---|---|---|
F. B. Meek 1873 | Shell strongly depressed-sub-trochiform, about three times as wide as high; under side flattened, and provided with a broad, shallow, eccentric umbilical impression; volutions t\VO and a half to three, a little convex, with a gentle outward slope .above, and an acutely angular periphery at the connection of the upper slope of the whorls and the. base; suture rather obscure; aperture transversely rhombic, nearly three times as wide as high, with acutely angular outer and inner extremities; upper side of lip very oblique, and extended far forward beyond that below, which latter seems to be nearly straight. Surface of upper side ornamented by rather distinct lines, or small ridges of growth, which cross the volutions very obliquely, with strong backward curves, as they approach the periphery, parallel to the margin of the lip. |
