Material – 14 specimens.

Description – Shell medium-sized (SL: 10–30). Spire high, outline straight, step-like. Sutural ramps concave, smooth. Shoulder carinate, finely tuberculate. Body whorl conical, outline straight, smooth with fine spiral grooves at the anterior end. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved.

Remarks – The Letkés material is close to the specimen figured by PEYROT (1930, pl. 1, figs 21–22) that was proposed by HALL (1964) as neotype. The specimens from Hidas ( STRAUSZ 1966) slightly differ in more projected shoulders. C. dujardini is similar in morphology, but the tuberculation appears only on the apical whorls, and the outline of the body whorl is concave to sigmoid.
