The species belongs to the new genus of the family Centropyxidae and characterized by unique character, i.e. an internal thick organic lip surrounding an aperture and continuing in a bridle, which connects an aperture with the internal side of a shell wall and broaden in the place of connection of a bridle and a shell wall. The systematics of the family Centropyxidae is discussed and the importance of the structures, which divide inner shell volume into compartments, is underlined.
