Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G.P. Wahlman 1992Shell medium in size, smoothly rounded dorsally and laterally, subglobose, involute, umbilicus closed; sinus moderately shallow, lateral aperture lobes well rounded; growth lines fine, revolving lines even finer.

Shell medium in size (adult about 25 mm long), involute, with closed umbilicus, generally subglobose, smoothly rounded dorsally and laterally, degree of convexity variable. Sinus moderately shallow, V-shaped, having well-rounded apex; lateral apertural margins merge into well-rounded lobes. Aperture distinctly wider than long. Parietal inductura thin, folding over venter of coil onto umbilical region, marked by fine, wavy revolving lines. Shell ornament of fine, closely spaced growth lines crossed by even finer revolving lines, giving a faint cancellate appearance.
