Material. 2 specimens from layer 1 and 1 specimen from layer 3.

Description. The shell is conical with a sharp spire (HS is 12 mm; WS is 11 mm), moderately high (WS/HS is 0.85-0.9), consists of seven convex whorls separated by an almost horizontal surface suture. Near-suture very narrow flat areas are visible. The last whorl is about 0.7 of the height of the shell (HLW/HS). Aperture is round, slightly carved by the penultimate whorl (WA/HA is 0.8), and is approximately 0.45-0.55 of the total shell height (HA/HS). The outer edge of aperture is thin; the inner one is thickened. Umbilicus is like a puncture; it can be slightly covered by the inner edge of aperture.

The shell surface sculpture appears after the protoconch and consists of spiral ribs (17 on each whorl). There is a well-developed keel on the periphery of the last whorl. The base of the shell is slightly convex and covered with the same spiral ribs. Growth lines are visible on some shells.

Remarks. The subgenus attribution follows Sladkovskaya (2017).

Region of distribution and age. Middle Sarmatian (Bessarabian) of the Eastern Paratethys (O. Anistratenko and V. Anistratenko, 2012).
