==Taxonomy ==
This genus was treated within family [Buccinidae](/source/Buccinidae). It was moved to family [Nassariidae](/source/Nassariidae) in 2016.<ref name="Galindo 2016">Galindo, L.

==Description==
Animal: The tentacles are connate at the base. The eyes are situated near their tips. The foot is covered with an auriculate shield-like lobe in front, and ends behind in a single tapering filament.

The shell is cancellated, oblong, acuminated and usually longitudinally ribbed. The outer [lip](/source/Lip_(gastropod)) is striated internally, with a slight sinus near the fore part. The [columella](/source/Columella_(gastropod)) is obliquely grooved, or shows a single plait in front.<ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3782650 Adams, H. & Adams, A. (1853-1858).
