The equatorial section shows 7 whorls In a radius of 3.6 mm. The width of the spacing of whorls increases very slowly till the end. The septa are arched, inclined, slightly thicker at the base. The hight of the chambers is larger than the width. The axial seciton is characterized by regular whorls, narrow spiral cavity, thick spiral lamina and thick marginal cord. No pillars are observed. Diameter: 7.2 mm, thickness: 2.4 mm. Occurence: This species is very common in the upper limestone beds of the Thebes Formation at Gabal El Shaghab. Distribution: This well known species occurs in the Lower Eocene beds in Europe, Medditerranean and the Far East. Nuttal described N. atacicus from the Laki Series and the lower part of the Middle Khirthar beds in India.

The equatorial section reveals a small nucleoconch, the protoconch is larger the deuteroconch. There are 4 whorls in a radius of 1 mm. The width of the spacing of whorls increases very slowly. Septa almost straight in their lower part, somewhat
