Some of the species within this genus are sometimes placed in the genus Cymbiolacca Iredale, 1929, which is also sometimes treated as a subgenus of Cymbiola.
Description
The thin shell is ovate and cymbiform. The spire is more or less produced. The apex is papillary (forming a rounded, bulbous tip) and somewhat irregular. The aperture is wide. The inner lip shows a thin callus. The columella contains a few oblique plaits at the fore part. The acute outer lip is often somewhat dilated.[3]
