Diagnosis. — Shell discoidal, much compressed ; whorls one half involute, outer whorl 

 flattened on the sides, slightly convex and transversely costated ; costse in form of doubly 

 bent convex folds, the outer curve inclined forwards towards the aperture ; siphonal area 

 narrow and carinated ; keel formed of short supplemental ribs, which grasp the margin 

 of the whorl and have their angles directed forward, forming a rope-like structure 

 extended along the outer margin ; the external half of the whorls covered with close-set 

 longitudinal lines ; aperture narrow, compressed, and sagittate ; lobe-line highly com- 

 plicated.
