Remarks.

Protoconch low and finely granulated, the last 0.25 of the protoconch whorl is finely wrinkled; R2 with ca. 34-40 low, blunt ribs; they are situated close to each other near tube, but probably do not form connections with each other; distance between ribs at the edge of body whorl ca. as wide as a rib width; R1 with extremely fine spiral lines between ribs (probably not homologous with the spiral striations in Metalycaeus species).
