The. general resemblance of this species to the Madeiran Geomitra 

 delphinula Lwe., and the European and North African Helix gual- 

 teriana L., viola Ponsonby, and sultana Morelet, has been com- 

 mented on by Mr. Fulton. In South America it has most resem- 

 blance to Bulimulus (Platybostryx) eremothauma Pils., as Crosse has 

 remarked.
