) to weakly pointed. Embryonic whorls smoothly granulate. Later whorls with very fine, very numerous ribs (about 27 per mm on penultimate whorl). Sutures of intermediate depth. Umbilicus closed or nearly so. Peristome incomplete parietally. Outer palatal surface of aperture with a depression corresponding to the palatal tooth. Dentition 3-fold to 4-fold, consisting of at least: one lamella-like parietal tooth; one slab-like palatal tooth, not forming a parieto-palatal sinus; and a mammillate columellar baffle. Additional teeth limited to a shallow, weak columellar swelling. Juvenile shells with 2-fold to 3-fold dentition: one parietal tooth; one columellar tooth; and usually one basal tooth (termed labral by van
