Type species: Adrianites elegans Gemmellaro, 1887.  

[Miller & Furnish, 1940, p.113:
In all forms that the writers are referring to this genus the conch is rather small  (less than 70 mm. in diameter) and is thickly subdiscoidal to subglobular, the umbilicus is small (but not closed), the surface of the test is in most cases longitudinally lirate, the growth-lines are nearly straight and generally are prominent, and the sutures form 16 to 30 lobes. The ventral lobe is bifid, and its prongs (secondary lobes) are curved and are much shorter and narrower than the first lateral lobes. The dorsal and lateral lobes are pointed-tongue shaped, and the intervening saddles are rounded. In typical forms sinuous transverse constrictions are present on the internal mold at least. At full maturity typical specimens possess prominent apertural constriction, which forms a ventral salient and ventro-lateral projections on the margins of the aperture].
