(Original description) It stands out at a glance for its pupoid shape and for its very short siphonal canal, a strongly denticled aperture, oblique and obsolete cross-linking, rapid subtraction, tumid evolutions. The conical apex is composed of many rounded corners, the last of which at angled periphery. [2]
