Aesopus chrysalloideus

(Described as † Aesopus idae) The conical shell is very elongate, increasing regularly in size.

The teleoconch whorls are relatively high between the sutures, with a narrowly tabulated shoulder at the summit.

The base is protracted, with the anterior portion marked by the continuation of strong growth lines and indications of robust spiral lirations.

The aperture is oval and distinctly channeled anteriorly, with an acute posterior angle.
