Description
from Zitec, 1976: Fusiform capsule with the length:width body ratio 3:1 and body:beak length ratio 2.5:1; the beak ends in a spine; suture smooth; 10 spiral bands rise at an angle of approximately 30° in the mid-section of the body and at angles as steep as 60° in the end portions of the body; the bands show an alternating pattern of one narrow to two broad bands.
