In some specimens the ribs are relatively irregular, and they seemingly join to each other near the tube. This is, however, rather due to the fact that the shells are weathered (despite the fact that they were collected alive), because the elevated ribs are destroyed and appear lower. R1 with clearly visible, fine spiral striation.</paragraph>

In case of 27 specimens the outer circle was entirely missing, and in 11 cases only small fragments of the rings remained.</paragraph>
