Diagnoza

The teleoconch coils are set off from one another by an initially narrow, later broad and concave ramp. The last coil is large and its flanks merge smoothly into the convex base. The growth lines are almost straight and somewhat prosocline, on the base they are curved backwards. The mouth is broadly oval with a broad abapical curve, adapically it is slightly rounded by the ramp. The outer lip is uniformly convex.
