Description
Shell spherical to subspherical, polar areas flush to deeply umbilicate, chomata distinct, septa totally unfluted, axis of coiling of most volutions almost parallel (*1270). [MIKLUKHO-MAKLAY in the original diagnosis pointed out that all known species of NeostaDella were approximately twice as large as most forms of Pselldostaffella, some of which we now recognize as belonging to Neostaffella. The chief feature of Neostaffella is its 4-1ayered spirotheca, which has a diaphanotheca below the tectum from the 3rd volution to
maturity.]
