Description

Shell of moderate size, 11-50 mm., rather thin, fusiform-biconic, with a moderate pagodiform spire, the rimlike submedian carina crenulated to some degree. Protoconch polygyrate, narrowly conical and diagonally cancellated. Sinus as in Thatcheria, narrowly rounded at the apex, which is just below the suture, then greatly produced forward below to meet the peripheral carina. Spiral sculpture of relatively strong cords from the periphery downward; only weak spirals above the periphery on the lower shoulder slope. Base con-tracted to a relatively short unnotched anterior canal.
