" Differs from sciaphila by the more lanceolate, more fusiform 

 shell, the spire not attenuate but acuminate, the summit prom- 

 inent and lanceolate, the first two whorls atrophied, replaced by 

 calcareous material; finally by the columella, which has the upper 

 tubercular prominence stronger and more projecting than the 

 lower" (Bgt.}.
