Diagnosis— Shell medium to large in size. Oval, sides inflated, rounded. Dorsum smooth. Spire of small to me- dium height and partially covered by successive whorls. Aperture wide. Anterior and posterior canals deep. Anterior end smooth, concave, and broad ( Jousseaume 1884 : p. 88). Geologic Range— Paleocene (herein) to Oligocene ( Lorenz, 2017 ). Remarks— In the NEP region, a four-species lineage of Bernaya occurred and ranges from late Paleocene (Thanetian Stage) to the late early to early middle Eocene “Domengine Stage.”
