The shell of this species has a row of subsutural nodules, a feature not found in any species of Leucosyrinx or Comitas, but present in all species of Sibogasyrinx and Comispira . In shell outline the species is more similar to Sibogasyrinx spp. than to any Comispira, therefore we allocate it to Sibogasyrinx .
