[MILLER & FURNISH, 1940, p.62: In typical Daraelites the conch is sublenticular or
subdiscoidal, being narrowly rounded ventrally and flattened laterally. It is only slightly
involute, and its umbilicus is moderately large. The test  is smooth and marked by only the
growth-lines, which forms broad ventral sinuses, lateral salient, and dorso-lateral sinuses.
The external sutures a large broad unequally trifid ventral lobe, and on either side of it a
low rounded  first lateral saddle, a large moderately deep first lateral lobe, a high narrow
second lateral saddle, and four  to eight additional lateral lobes and a similar number of
saddles. At maturity the first lateral lobe is denticulate, an in advanced forms so are the
lateral subdivisions of the ventral lobe, the second lateral lobe, and even the third lateral
lobe. The internal sutures consist fo a deep narrow  spatulate dorsal lobe and on either side
of  it two to four small internal lobes and saddles. In addition to the denticulation of
certain of the lobes and the general plan of the suture, one of the most distinctive of the
sutures is the relatively large size of the first lateral lobe. Furthermore, the first
lateral lobe curves ventrad, and the other lateral lobes curve toward the umbilicus. During
ontogenetic development, lateral lobes are formed progressively in the umbilical region by
indentation of the a saddle there].
