See text Calliostomatini Thiele, 1924 (1847) Calliostomatinae is a subfamily of gastropods, belonging to the family Calliostomatidae.

[1] They are somewhat large sea snails - marine gastropod mollusks, with gills and a thin, circular, corneous, and many-whorled operculum.

The spiral sculpture consists of raised cords, in many cases strongly beaded.

The columella is simple above, not folded, and either simply concave below or slightly truncate and toothed.

The radula has the rhachidian and 4 to 5 lateral teeth with irregularly oval body, and rather long, pointed cusps, their outer edges serrate.
