Ptychobela lavinia

The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 12) protractively oblique rounded ribs with subequal interspaces, prominent on the periphery, attenuated on the base and not reaching the siphonal canal.

The spiral sculpture consists of (from three to five on the spire, about 10 on the body whorl) strong, rounded cords overriding the ribs and not swollen at the intersections.

Lastly the surface is finely minutely spirally striate in the intervals between the larger threads and cords.

The outer lip is produced, thin edged, more or less crenulate from the spiral sculpture and smooth within.

The inner lip and the columella show a rather thick layer of callus with a slightly raised outer edge.
