Remarks.

Protoconch rather low, without spiral striae; R1 regularly ribbed without spiral striation; R2 long with widely spaced, sharp ribs. Alycaeus succineus is classified in Dicharax on the basis of the low protoconch and the absence of spiral striation, but the elevated, sharp R2 ribs are characteristic of the genera Metalycaeus and Chamalycaeus .
