These are some of the species within the genus Harpagodes. [1]
"Shell obconic or ovate-conoid, with the spire moderately elevated, the canal produced into a long boldly recurved towards the left, and the labrum (...) spiniform digitations. Whorls convex or flat between the angle and the suture, spirally ribbed, with larger rib-like angular, median, and anterior fascioles (and sometimes post-angular), each emitting long spiniform digitations; and with a sutural canaliculate digitation accumbent on the spire, continued and recurved backwards."
