Angulyagra Rao, 1931 View in CoL

Examined species: Angulyagra cf. polyzonata (Frauenfeld, 1862)

( Figs 4T View Figure 4 , 5T View Figure 5 , 7T View Figure 7 ).

Remarks: Apart from Notopala , Angulyagra can be distinguished from other genera with a concentric inverted-comma-shaped operculum by the following combination of characters: a relatively small nuclear region with shiny grains or veins, a relatively thick enamel layer and a thin marginal region that obviously differs in colour from the enamel region.

One species of Angulyagra (total of three specimens with operculum) has been examined for this study ( Table 1 View Table 1 ).
