Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. L. Batten 1995Relatively high-spired, naticiform shells with rows of coarse nodes.

Early whorls evenly rounded and unomamented. 3rd to 4th whorls may have a subsutural trough bounded by sharply defined suture and row of nodes rounded or elongated into asymmetric costae which may extend down to periphery. Whorls embrace just above midwhorl. Another row of nodes is present at base of outer whorl face. By 4th to 5th whorls, an additional, weaker row of nodes appears just above lower whorl face row. By 5th to 6th whorls (the adult whorls) additional midwhorl rows appear so that evenly developed rows of nodes are present across whorl face. Rows are arranged quincunxially. Base is evenly rounded with, in some cases, an additional row of nodes. Columellar lip is swollen with a callus that extends and thickens into parietal region.
