J. B. Knight 1931 | Of moderate size; sub-oval, with relatively long body whorl; sides of spire concave at neanic and markedly convex at ephebic stages; sutures but slightly impressed; suture of the final whorl of fully grown individuals more oblique than those of the younger whorls; inductura tremendously thickened just within the aperture of fully grown individuals and only to a less degree in younger ones; upper part of the thickened inductura of some specimens marked with faint, vertical grooves; siphonal folds distinct, bordered posteriorly by a rather narrow, deep groove in the inductura, the latter swelling out above the groove into the semblance of a low, rounded fold; siphonal channel wide and shallow; surface smooth, almost polished, growth lines faint; color in life seemingly uniform dark gray, almost black. |
