Description. — " Shell rhomboid ovate. Spire little elevated above the 

 body of the shell : volutions three or four ; the upper ones small and 

 moderately increasing, the last one ventricose, much expanded on the 

 outer side, and subangular : aperture broadly ovate ; the columellar lip 

 extremely thickened, the callosity extending to the outer lip. Surface 

 marked by prominent spiral ridges with wider furrows between, and, on 

 the upper part of the volution, by a broader band or groove, which is mar- 

 gined by carinas: lines of growth marked by strong elevated lamellose 

 strife, which are undulated in passing over the spiral ridges ; those mark- 

 ing the broader spiral band are less strongly elevated, and make a single 

 retral curve, indicating the marginal sinus." Hall, 1859.
