Description "Large to very large. Thick-shelled. Translucent with small, subcentral, regularly ovate opaque patch and 2 smaller patches at posterior extremity and anterodorsal angle. Bairdoppilate in lateral view; elliptical in dorsal. Anterior asymmetrically rounded: anterodorsal slope slightly concave ; anteroventral slope broadly convex; extremity just above mid-height. Posterior excavated, slightly upswept, extremity below mid-height : posterodorsal slope almost straight, slightly concave near extremity ; posteroventral slope convex. Dorsally convex in LV; straight in RV." (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 113) [details]

Dorsally convex in LV; straight in RV." (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 113) [details]Diagnosis "Bairdoppilate ; posterior excavated, slightly upswept. Surface with minute but deep and dense punctae evenly distributed over entire surface. Contact groove of RV with locellae ; auxiliary dentition well developed. Small, subcentral, regularly ovate opaque patch and 2 smaller patches at anterodorsal angle and posterior extremity. Narrow, single, vestibule, continuous about anterior, ventral and posterior margins." (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 113) [details]

Remark "Bairdoppilata alcyonicola is very similar but is smaller and differs in shape, particularly posteriorly being slightly more caudate and the posterior extremity is more dorsal than in the present species." (Titterton & Whatley, 1988: 113) [details]
