Description The species in this genus are small to minute. They have a depressed or turbinate shape. They are all umbilicated with a nacreous inner layer. The thickened outer lip, attached to the body whorl for a short length, is continuous. Where the operculum has been stated, it is horny and multispiral. Species * '' Liotia admirabilis'' E. A.
