The anatomy of the mitrid Ziba carinata, type species of the genus, is described based on a sample from Ghana, W. Africa. The species is characterized by very wide radular lateral teeth; a very short odontophore horizontal muscle; a strong, bifurcated, a dorsal muscle from radular sac to dorsal region of odontophore (m9); a pair of auxiliary retractor muscles for the radula (m2a); a very developed epiproboscis lacking an internal duct; the lack of accessory salivary glands; ducts of the salivary glands long and convolute; stomach with a circular, sphincter-like anterior muscle; and a very concentrated nerve ring with pair of statocysts located relatively away from it. The radular teeth are very wide and with long cusps. This description allows future revaluation of the genus and an analysis of its separation from closely related genera.
