Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
K. Bandel 2007The fusiform shell of the shape as in Ectinochilus is connected to a callus continuation of the inner and outer lip that runs to the top of the spire and covers it. The margins of the slit are formed by the upturned lamellar outer lip and a lamella-like continuation of the callus of the inner lip. The slit ends near the apex. The body whorl has fine spiral lines only on its anterior part. The outer lip with smooth and thickened margin continues without interruption from the short siphon to almost the apex. He callus of the inner lip forms a sheet that also covers the apex of the shell.
