 by a deep suture; the embryonic 1% whorls smooth, summit 

 obtuse. Last whorl rounded, slightly less than one-third the

Differs from Opeas pauper in shape and ornamentation. 

 The small number of whorls, deep sutures and ornamentation

 that Girard overlooked the extremely minute sculpture of 

 the protoconch.
