Description

(Described as Scala (Amaea) H. Adams & A. Adams, 1853) The thin, turreted shell shows united, cancellated whorls and a few irregular, thin varices. The aperture is semilunar;. The inner lip is swollen at the center, while the outer lip is thin and unadorned. ^[2]

(Described as Epitonium (Ferminoscala) Dall, 1908) Spiral whorls in contact, turritelloid and reticulate, featuring a single prominent varix in the fully mature shell. The base lacks an umbilicus but includes a distinct basal disk. ^[3]
