Material.
One specimen: ESKU-19-
LP
52.
Dimensions (mm): ESKU-19-
LP
52: height = 6.0; width = 8.0; apical angle = 126
º
; apertural height = 4.2; apertural width = 5.2.
Remarks.
The present specimen is low-spired with the spire only somewhat protruding, consisting of three smooth rapidly increasing whorls. The body-whorl is very inflated, the height of the last whorl is about 90% of the total shell height. The aperture is broad with a thick inductura and seems to develop a columellar fold which has never been observed in
Naticopsis
. However, the preservation of the aperture is insufficient to be sure that a fold is really present.
