discussion
REMARKS The specimens are placed only tentatively in this genus since the protoconch is weathered, and could possibly be of type A 2; the columella bears a clearly defined tooth as in Syrnola species (van Aartsen et al. 2000). The overall morphology of the shell is very similar with the Eocene species Syrnola polygyrata (Deshayes, 1861), with the later species having a type A 1 protoconch.
