L. kuhnsi, from the same locality and from which it is easily 

 distinct, is probably its nearest relative from the island of 

 Maui. L. conspicienda is more nearly related to L. perkinsi, 

 Sykes, from the island of Lanai. It has, however, a more 

 acute apex, the spire is less regularly conic, the whorls are 

 more convex, the aperture is narrower and more elongate and 

 the columella is longer and straighter.

 thirds the length of the shell ; aperture pyrif orm ; lip with 

 dextral margin slightly thickened, whitish corneous within, 

 columellar margin narrow, parietal 'margin lacking. Length
