Cords may be present or absent on the spire whorls, the last whorl has sulci that reach mid-whorl and often the shoulder; the subsutural sinus is deep; an anterior notch is absent; and the protoconch is multispiral. This genus has a Miocene to Recent Indo-Pacific distribution. It is similar in shell characters to the

This is an interesting record as it suggests, amongst others, a Paratethyan occurrence of a taxon nowadays restricted to the Indo-West Pacific.
