Diagnosis —“Shell large, white, apex posterior to center. Radial sculpture of numerous primary and secondary ribs, intersecting the concentric growth lines as imbrications. *** Interior with channel corresponding to selenizone; muscle scar horseshoe-shaped, with inturned hooked process.” ( McLean 1966, p. 2).
Type species — Emarginula bella Gabb (1865) View in CoL (= Subemarginula yatesii Dall (1901) .
Remarks — Scelidotoma is most similar to the genus Scutus Montfort (1810) , but differs by having axial sculpture and an interior channel both of which are absent in the genus Scutus .
