Four laterals on each side of central tooth; first tooth largest, other teeth sequentially smaller. Marginals also irregularly, unequally bicuspid, with internal cusp larger than outer cusp. Marginal teeth 7 or 8 on each side of central tooth (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ).

Radula formula. 7-8:4:1:4:7-8.
