8TROPHOCHEILUS-BORU8. 31 



S. CAPILLACEUS PfeifFer. PL 14, fig. 69. 



Shell oval or ovate, thin and light, closely and finely rib-striate 

 on the earlier whorls, more irregularly wrinkle-striate on the body- 

 whorl, at least above. Light brown under a thin brownish cuticle, 

 which has a tendency to be deciduous in spiral bands. Suture more 

 or less crenulated. Whorls 5-54, the earlier 1 or 2 planorboid, 

 forming a very obtuse apex; post-nepionic whorls H-l.], the last 

 whorl evenly convex. Aperture large, decidedly over half the 

 shell's length, brown within; outer lip narrowly reflexed, pink, 

 evenly curved ; columella as in oblongus ; parietal callus light, thin, 

 transparent or pinkish. 



Alt. 58, diam. 38 ; alt. apert. 35 mill. 



Alt. til, diam. 37 ; alt. apert. 35 mill.

This seems to me perfectly distinct from S. oblongus in the 

 smaller size, fewer whorls, much more obtuse apex, etc., so far as I 

 may judge from the 10 specimens I have seen. 



Var. SENERI Jousseaume. PI. 30, fig. 23. 



Shell umbilicated, solid, ovate, irregularly plicate-rugose and mal- 

 leated, white, whorls 5, slightly convex, the last ventricose, about ? 

 the shell's length ; suture crenulated, aperture ovate oblong, dilated 

 at base, milk-white inside ; peristome thickened, narrowly expanded 

 and reflexed, white with a slight rose tint, its ends joined by a 

 spreading callus; right margin thicker, columellar much dilated.

Differs from Borus oblongus in the smaller size, embryonic nucleus 

 very large, thick shell, strong wide irregular riblets, forming pro- 

 jecting teeth at the suture; umbilicus large and deep; peristome 

 white, slightly washed with rose ; columellar margin very wide ; plane 

 of the aperture forming an angle of 20 with the axis.
