Taxonomy
Original description: Conchiglia piatta dal contmmo tipicamente scafoide, avvolgimento planispirale, camere numerose, sottili, lunghe, arcuate, regolarmente e rapidamente crescenti, suture curve, orlate da fini listelli che girano tutto attorno alla camera stessa, biforcandosi sulle due faccie. Il margine stesso è pertanto nettamente unicarenato, l'apertura giace sulla faccia terminale dell'ultima camera; piccola arcuata, sembra prolugarsi un poco sulle due faccie laterali. L'ultima spira copre in parte il giro precedente; il centro è da ambo le parti un po' incavato, pochè i giri interni sono più profondi di quelli esterni. I listelli dell'ultima camera biforcandosi si allargano alquanto l'uno all'altro ed abbracciano una curva, triangolare, faccia terminale. La spira infine è alquanto aperta e tende ad estendersi nella tipica, sopramenzionata forma scafoide.
Numero delle camere all'ultimo giro 9-10 (eccezionalmente anche 11).
