A:   Conch form subglobose to globose; umbilicus open, but narrow.
B-F: Commonly numerous longitudinal lirae, crossing transverse striae, thereby producing reticulare or crenstriate pattern.
G:   Ventral lobe rather narrow, sides more less straight, strongly diverging; height of median saddle about or little less
      than half the height of entire ventral lobe. First lateral saddle acute; adventitious lobe pointed, with almost straight sides.
