Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. V. Mazaev 2002High-spired shell, consists of numerous drum-like whorls, anomphalous. Protoconch of one smooth whorl. Whorl face of adult whorls straight or concave in profile, nearly parallel to shell axis or slightly inclined to it. Suture fine, distinct. Basal angulation well developed, distinctly separating face and base of whorls. Whorl face smooth, ornamented with lira or row of nodes below suture, which may form very small shoulder with narrow subsutural ramp. Selenizone flattened, bordered by two fine striae, placed just above mid-whorl face. Whorl base moderately rounded, smooth or ornamented with spiral lirae. Growth lines distinct, fine, sometimes rough, prosocyrt and extended prosoclinally above selenizone, forming lunulae on selenizone, and slightly prosocyrt and extended opisthoclinally below selenizone.
