The sixth joint is the broadest, and twice as long as the fifth joint, three times as long as the fourth. Cephalis conical, with a stout, conical horn of the same length. Mouth little constricted, with three divergent, conical feet, half as long as the shell. Pores subregular, circular. (Similar to Podocyrtis lithoconus, Pl. 72, fig. 3, but with six joints instead of three, and with divergent, slender feet.)
