Diagnosis— Shell medium to large in size. Oval, sides inflated, rounded. Dorsum smooth. Spire of small to medium height and partially covered by successive whorls. Aperture wide. Anterior and posterior canals deep. Anterior end smooth, concave, and broad (Jousseaume 1884: p. 88).
Geologic Range— Paleocene (herein) to Oligocene (Lorenz, 2017).
Remarks— In the NEP region, a four-species lineage of Bernaya occurred and ranges from late Paleocene (Thanetian Stage) to the late early to early middle Eocene “Domengine Stage.”
