Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. D. Mount 1973Shell relatively small; whorls 5; spire slightly elevated; single high, broad, rounded spiral rib medially situated between the upper suture and outer shoulder.

Shell relatively small for the genus, subdiscoidal; spire slightly elevated, the first two whorls flattened; moderately phaneromphalus, umbilicus deep with nearly vertical sides, umbilical angle near 80 degrees. Whorls 5, with moderately rounded angulations on outer-upper and -lower shoulders, outer sides of whorl moderately convex, umbilical profile of whorl weakly convex to flattened. Upper sutures shallow and slightly impressed, passing around the previous whorl just below the upper shoulder. Protoconch unknown. Spiral sculpture consists of a single high, broad, rounded rib between upper suture and angulation on the outer shoulder, width of rib about one third that of whorl, slopes of rib slightly concave. Growth lines orthocline, extending outward to rib on upper whorl, there bending into a sharply defined but shallow sinus; beyond rib growth lines curve slightly backward around whorl to lower suture forming a slightly projecting upper lip over the aperture.
