---|---|---|
F. M'Coy 1844 | Body of the shell very gibbous, regularly ribbed from the beak; anterior face convex, inflated, smooth, or marked only by lines of growth, separated from the body of the shell by a short, obtuse keel; anterior tube very long, cylindrical, smooth.
This species is allied to the P. minax, Phil., but is distinguished by its more gibbous, and smooth, convex, anterior end. The anterior keel of this shell is interesting from its small size. Length from the beak to the opposite margin seven lines. |
