Original Description
Description: Outline slightly elongate, shape distinctly truncate. Dorsal side with rapidly opening spiral, well developed raised sutures and only slightly inflated chambers. The dorsal side is almost flat. On the ventral side 5 chambers are present, all inflated, separated by distinctly depressed sutures. The umbilicus is deep, no apertures are observable, other than a very narrow slit at the base of the last formed chamber within the umbilicus. The terminal chamber is elongate and unkeeled. The keel is broad and very distinct; a peculiar development is a strong ribbing which can be clearly observed in a lateral view.
