From lurida it differs in the lack of a submargining of the suture, more numerous and protractively oblique, not vertical, axials, the addition of a basal subangle and pale coloration, faintly banded but differently from lurida , the uppermost band being at the peripheral angle whereas that is the site of the white band in both lurida and kamakurana .] Powell, A.W.B. 1969. p. 279-280, pl. 223, figs. 4-6
