This rather rare Dalmatian species is closely related to the 

 Grecian forms described below.

 6, the last equal in length to the penultimate, entirely flat, 

 joined by a hair-like suture. Spire obtuse. Aperture ob- 

 lique, subcircular; columella dentate-truncate deep within;

 by a white callus which ascends the left margin and abruptly
