 ser.), ii, p. 41, pi. 1, f. 20, 21 (1900). 



In general characters this species resembles J3. veranyi Pfr., but 

 it is smaller and more globose, without an umbilical perforation; the 

 lip is of a bright rose color, and there are short folds below the suture.

Shell imperforate, ovate, thin and subpellucid, whorls 4^, convex, 

 separated by an impressed and irregularly crenulate suture, the first 

 whorl very delicately decussate, the rest shining and ornamented 

 with irregular growth-wrinkles. Spire short and obtuse. Last 

 whorl very large, descending in front. Aperture oval ; columella 

 narrow, arcuate, a little twisted above ; lip narrowly margined and 

 almost reflexed ; the margins joined by a very thin, translucent 

 callus. Color dark-brownish corneous, the suture narrowly white or

Plecochilus dalmasi DAUTZ., Me"m. Soc. Zool. de France for 1900, 

 xiii, p. 151 ; PlekocJteilus dalmasi DAUTZ., t. c., pi. 9, f. 1, 1. 



Remarkable for its small size, quite oval form with short spire, 

 thin shell, the narrow margin of the peristome, and for the uniform 

 color, without spots or flames. 



The locality is not stated by Mr. Dautzenberg, but Count R. de 

 Dalmas collected in several Caribbean islands, in Venezuela at 

 Yacua, and in the Sierra de Sta. Marta. Probably this is from the 

 latter locality.
