STROPHOCHEILUS-BORUS. 33 



This species differs much from 8. oblongus in the aperture. The 

 cited figures (copied on pi. 11, figs. 55, 56) represent it broader and 

 shorter above than any of the specimens before me. Young examples 

 have a narrow umbilicus, and a small chink filled with earth 

 remains to be seen in many adults. (Martens).

Shell oblong-ovate, rather thin, pinkish under a yellow cuticle, 

 the spire flesh-pink ; penultimate whorl more or less speckled or 

 zigzagged with whitish. Whorls 4J, the first planorboid, oblique to 

 axis, .with deep suture, smooth ; the next whorl most minutely gran- 

 ular, with regularly crenulated suture ; following whorls having ir- 

 regular wrinkle-stria, and a dense, fine, but irregular decussate 

 granulation, the sutures somewhat irregularly crenulated. 



Aperture slightly over half the shell's length, ovate, fleshy-brown- 

 ish within ; peristome white, broadly reflexed, rather thin ; outer 

 lip evenly and well arched, columella concave below, oblique and 

 with a weak straightish entering fold above, its outer edge broadly 

 expanded, vaulted over the open (rarely closed) umbilicus ; parie- 

 tal callus light, transparent- whitish.
