Diagnosis Test lenticular, trochospiral, with two and a half whorls, the five and a half to six chambers of the final whorl appearing crescentic on the strongly convex spiral side where not obscured by the hispid surface, sutures flush to slightly elevated, strongly recurved at the periphery, umbilical side convex but with broadly depressed umbilical region, chambers with wide umbilical flaps, sutures radial, nearly straight, depressed, periphery carinate, peripheral outline lobulate; wall calcareous, spiral side prominently hispid, the short spinules imperforate and circular in section, umbilical side may have peripheral hispid zone but is smooth elsewhere and generally imperforate, with only a few coarse pores in the central part of each chamber; aperture interiomarginal, midway between the umbilicus and periphery, extending beneath the umbilical flap where it may continue as a short slit along the intercameral suture.
