–1914.
Description.
Shell highly trochoid; illustrated specimen
74 mm
high; spire whorls significantly wider than high; sutures impressed; last whorl high; shell sides convex with evenly rounded transition to convex base; no ornament visible; aperture (always damaged) elongated, narrow, actute adapically; at least one columellar, parietal and palatal plait present.
Remarks.
The available material is too sparse and poorly preserved for a sufficient description. The relationships to
Endoplocus inflatus
remain unclear. The latter may have more and lower spire whorls.
