A strongly characterized species, differing from all others in the 

 more irregular aperture, uniform corneous-whitish color, a little 

 transparent, and the very irregular teeth. The striation is very 

 fine. 



O. ciiAMPAQuiANUS Doering. 



Shell rimate, small, fusiform-turreted, brown-corneous, roughened 

 by close rugulose stria?, reticulate-variegated by elevated, membran- 

 aceous spiral lines. Whorls 9, a little convex ; the first convex, very 

 closely striate. those following roughened by little-elevated, mem- 

 branous lamella? arranged in spiral lines; the last whorl about one- 

 fourth the total length, scrobiculate in front, two-crested at the base. 

 Aperture subpentagonal, nearly closed by five teeth and lamella? : a 

 twisted lamella on the parietal wall, a bifid one on the columella, a 

 small tooth within the base, with a fourth strong tooth and a fifth 

 small one within the outer lip; frequently a sixth tooth projecting at 

 the upper part of the right lip. Peristome expanded, acute, thick- 

 ened within, the right lip angulated above, columellar margin a little 

 reflexed, the margins joined by a thin callus. Length 15-16, width 

 4, aperture with peristome 4 mil!, long, 3 wide (Doer.). 



Argentina : widely spread on the southwestern slope of the Sierra 

 de Acltala ; granitic hills of the eastern slope of the Sierra de 

 Aconjigasta, around None ; Quebrada del Rio de Mina Clavero, ex- 

 tending to the southern extreme of the Sierra de Achala, occurring 

 at the Qu^brada de Oyada, in the province of S. Luis.

This species has some resemblance to 0. profundidens, found on 

 the north of the S. de Achala ; but it differs at first sight by the spiral 

 lines formed of fine lamellae, very delicate, fragile and membranous, 

 forming a reticulate sculpture. The shell is more compact and 

 narrow, the whorls much more convex, and there are differences in 

 the teeth.
