If you look again at the labial side view of my specimen you can see its
sutural channel is nothing like the smoothly rounded sutures of rubida
and roseotincta, thus I am convinced it is neither species. I again
emphasize that the lower margin of the channel actually forms a sharp,
thin edge that reflects apically, partially overhanging the channel in
some areas.
