The fragmentary specimen PIMUZ 39516 has a conch diameter of 80 mm ( Fig. 8A View Fig ). It shows the coronate, strongly depressed whorl profile (ww/wh ~1.80), the flat area of flank and umbilical wall, the narrowly rounded ventrolateral shoulder and the flattened but convex venter ( Fig. 8B View Fig ).
