Genus Horatia Bourguignat, 1887 View in CoL
Type species: Horatia klecakiana Bourguignat 1887
Description: Shell valvatoid, conical to globular with a prominent body whorl. The umbilicus is wide and deep or slightly covered by the last whorl. The peristome is at the columella straight, broadened or reflexed. The outer lip of the circular aperture is oblique, its lower end drawn backwards from lateral view.
Differentiating charcters: The shell shape of some Sadleriana spp. are looking similar, but the latter genus has no umbilicus and the peristome is in the region of the columella broader.
