Material examined.

Nr. Prome, Pegu, leg. F. Stoliczka, NHMUK 1903.7.1.2700 (3 probable syntypes [labelled as “kurtzianus”; the locality do not match with the original description, but the specimens are identical to the figured one]); Nattoung, W. Prome, coll. Theobald, NZSI M.24974 (1 syntype), 25021 (6 syntypes).

Remarks.

Protoconch low, glossy, without spiral lines; R1 also glossy, without any notable sculpture; R2 moderately long, with lamella-like ribs, which are straight in the first half of the region, but are gradually more curved towards the aperture in the second half of R2.
