Selenizone concave with periphery serving as upper margin. Lower margin a spiral cord much weaker than upper margin. Alveozone concave and sloping downward. Lower margin marked by a spiral cord about equally well-developed as lower selenizone margin. Whorls embrace on lower alveozone margin. No collabral ornament. Base is absent.
