This form has much the contour of S. santacruzii, but the early 

 whorls are more swollen and the texture and coloration as in S. 

 oblongus. It was described first as a variety of S. oblongus, but I 

 agree with Dr. von Ihering that it is entitled to specific rank. The 

 type, no. 71229 coll. A. N.. S., is figured. 



S. PARANAGUENSIS Pils. & v. Iher. PI. 16, figs. 1, 2. 



Shell ovate, decidedly compressed dorso-ventrally, moderately solid, 

 the spire short, obtuse. Shell substance dull pink, with a pale band 

 below the sutures ; cuticle mainly retained on the later two whorls, 

 yellow below the sutures and back of the outer lip, elsewhere yellowish- 

 chestnut, with rather numerous, narrow, obliquely longitudinal chestnut 

 streaks. Surface moderately shining, irregularly, strongly ivrinkle- 

 costulate, as in S. oblongus ; showing under the lens a microscopic 

 granulation (similar to that of the spire of S. oblongus}, which is 

 largely or entirely lost on the last half whorl. Nepionic whorls 

 finely costulate, as in S. oblongus. Whorls 5, the earlier five regu- 

 larly and moderately widening, with slightly oblique sutures, the last 

 half whorl (in a dorsal view) rapidly descending, its suture extremely 

 oblique. Aperture somewhat oblique, whitish inside; peristome well 

 expanded, brilliant rose-colored ; columella with a moderate fold. 

 Length 92, diam. maj. 55, min. 47 mill. ; length of aperture 62 mill.

With the sculpture of S. oblongus, this species unites the contour 

 of S. ovatus. It differs from oblongus in the streaked cuticle, dorso- 

 ventral compression, short spire, and very oblique last suture. It is 

 more obese than S. granulosus Rang, with less pronounced granula- 

 tion, coarse surface costulation, and closer apical riblets.

The locality of this species has hitherto been unknown. It occurs 

 subfossil at Montevideo, Uruguay, whence specimens have been sent
