Shell acutely ovate, scarcely if at all oblique, thin but 

 not peculiarly so, not much shining externally, pellucid, 

 with inconspicuous crowded striulse, but without distinct 

 foldlike wrinkles, of a reddish horn or rufous amber colour, 

 sometimes pale and whitish. Whorls three and a half to 

 four, particularly tumid, abruptly rising from the pro- 

 foundly impressed sutures; antepenult whorl, when viewed 

 from the lower side of the shell, equal to either half or 

 more than half the succeeding one : spire rather elongated 

 for the genus. Epidermis often thick. Aperture sub- 

 ovate or oboval, not oblique, not acuminated above, 

 hardly occupying more than half the entire length of 

 the shell, rounded and not produced, nor attenuated at 

 the base : outer lip arcuated, inner lij) moderately sub- 

 arcuated.
