Stromboidea
Original Description of Rostellaria glabra by Forbes, 1845, p. 350:
- "Testa elongata, anfractibus 9, seperioribus oblique costatis spiraliter striatisque, striis ad suturam profundioribus, ultimo anfractu glabro, labro expanso, aliformi, triuncinato."
- "Shell elongated, whorls rather convex, those of the spire are striated spirally, the striae near the suture being so deep as to give them a marginated aspect, and crossed by oblong slender ribs which are much less numerous than in the last species (Rostellaria robinaldina). The body whorl is gently rounded and nearly smooth, or with a few spiral striae only near the suture. The whorl next above it is also free from transverse ribs. The lip is very large and expanded. It is produced above into a long slender linear spur, which if attached to the spire would have converted the shell into a Pterocera. In front the lip has two other diverging spurs of a lanceolate form. The canal is long and very slender."
