Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| L. T. Groves and R. L. Squires 2023 | Shell small to medium size. Pyriform, with moderate inflation. Spire involute. Sides with spiral ribs crossing similar longitudinal ribs (resulting in cancellate ornamentation), with or without nodes at intersections of ribs. Longitudinal ribs can be obsolete. Aperture narrow, curved posteriorly. Numerous fine teeth on both lips. Fossula very narrow, smooth. Anterior canal can be somewhat elongate (Wenz 1941). |
