"Long. 62, diam. 26 mill.". Figured specimen H 62.0, D 29.0, W 5.3+.

Type material.

NHMUK 1975301, lectotype; 1975302, one paralectotype (Cuming coll.).

Remarks.

Pfeiffer did not state on how many specimens his description was based, but described his material from "Mus. Cuming". The top of the lectotype is slightly damaged. The protoconch is sculptured with slightly waving axial riblets. Both specimens appear to be subadult; further studies are needed to ascertain the taxonomic position of this taxon. The current systematic position follows Simone (2006).

Current systematic position.
