Description: Shell of medium size, ovoid to elongate-ovoid with pointed apex without horn ( Figs 6 View Fig , 7A, C View Fig , Supplementary Figure 3A View Fig ). The shell is symmetric with axis of symmetry is the line that passes through the top and perpendicular to the apertural plane. Shells are made of small sand grains ( Figs 7A–D View Fig , Supplementary Figure 3B, C View Fig ). The surface of the shell is relatively smooth, the area closer to the aperture is more rugged due to some particles with larger size. The aperture is circular (Supplementary Figure 3D View Fig ), the apertural width is approximately 1/2 of the total body length and nearly 2/3 of the body width. The shell has a circular cross-section ( Fig. 6 View Fig , Supplementary Figure 3D View Fig ).
