 l)readth = 3 : 8. Cephalis subspherical, with very small pores and a small, pyramidal horn of 

 half the length. Thorax inflate, ovate ; in the uppermost part (beyond the collar stricture) with 

 a ring of six to nine very large roundish pores, which are twice to four times as broad as the 

 other irregular, roundish pores. (The shell is seen in fig. 11 from the apical pole, in fig. 11a
