Early teleoconch sculpture is bipartite with faint (‘ C. ’ jarzynkae ) or prominent (‘ C. ’ juliae ) opisthocline riblets on broad mid-portion. The columella is more broadly excavated than in most other clavatulids. The bipartite early teleoconch whorls distinguish this group from Megaclavatula . The long siphonal canal and the opisthocline riblets on early teleoconch whorls allow a separation from Clavatula . The last whorl profile separates the ‘ Clavatula ’ juliae group from other bipatite groups such as the bimarginata -clade and the ‘ Clavatula ’ camillae group, which differ in their slender fusiform profile.
