B. oblitum can always be recognized by its small size combined with a thickened outer lip, large aperture and spiral ribs with small knobs. The animal is not known, but the shell agrees in all details with that of Buccinum while the sculpture is quite different from the smooth shell of Liomesus. We have therefore preferred to place oblitum in Buccinum, as did Sykes (1911) and Dautzcnberg (1925).
