Chersaecia nagaensis
(Godwin-Austen, 1875)
Diagnosis
Shell small, sinistral, domed or depressed-conical, dorsal side with dense reddish stripes that are often obscured by thick, brown periostracum; parietal wall with a single lamella and a short lower plica; main plica present or absent; palatal plicae horizontal, might be connected with a vertical ridge.
Differential diagnosis
Chersaecia nagaensis
differs from
C. leiophis
in the following traits: shell smaller, spire higher, umbilicus narrower, body whorl rounded (shouldered in
leiophis
), periostracum denser, intermediate plica absent, or small and separated from the lamella.
Chersaecia goniobathmos
is similar to
C. nagaensis
in shell shape and sculpture, but differs from that species by possessing two lamellae, a long lower plica, and a well-developed intermediate plica, which is in contact with the anterior lamella.
