Material.

4 specimens and a cast of an imprint (imprint not at hand); illustrated specimen SNSB – BSPG 2016 XXI 1777.

Remarks.

This species was not available for the study of Gründel et al. (2015). Brösamlen (1909) gave an accurate description. In the material at hand, only the illustrated specimen is almost complete. The aperture is rounded with a strongly convex outer lip. The callus is only partially preserved. At least three of the specimens are adults with a width of 16–17 mm. This species differs from the similar Hayamiella semiplicata (Brösamlen, 1909) by having fewer axial ribs (about 7–8 per whorl) and the axial ribs do not become weaker during late ontogeny.
