Description. — "Shell rather below a medium size, the 

 cast measuring only about i inch in height, with a 

 transverse diameter somewhat less; form turbinate, with 

 a very low spire, consisting of not more than three 

 volutions in the only specimen known; volutions ventricose, 

 obconical, scarcely rounded on the upper margin, but rap- 

 idly narrowing below and rounded on the side; aperture large, 

 almost semilunate, or only very slightly convex on the inner mar- 

 gin ; columella strong, marked by two very distinct plications at 

 the lower third of the aperture, the lower one being distinctly the 

 stronger of the two; sutures between the whorls of the cast very 

 large, indicating a thick, heavy shell ; surface as shown on the in- 

 side of the body whorl of the cast marked by strong spiral Imes
