When immature, this species has a subtruncate columella, like S. 

 hartwegi. It is well distinguished by the pitted embryo and the 

 coloration. 



S. YANAMENSIS Morelet. PL 27, fig. 97. 



Shell imperforate, oblong, solid, rugulose, in part granulated, 

 shining. Greenish-tawny, irregularly streaked with darker. Spire 

 short-conic, the apex obtuse, a little concave. Suture very narrowly 

 white-edged, irregularly crenulated on last whorl. Whorls 4i t 

 slightly convex, the earlier denuded of cuticle, impressed-granulate 

 under a lens, roseate ; penultimate whorl dot-banded ; last whorl 

 larger than spire. 



Aperture ample, semi-oval, white inside ; peristome somewhat 

 thickened, the right margin nearly straight ; columella calloused, 

 short, joining the basal margin at an angle. Alt. 58, diam. 25 ; 

 aperture, alt. 31, width 16 mill. (Morel.).

More ventricose than S. thompsoni and hartivegi, with fewer 

 whorls and larger aperture.

Shell imperforate, ovate-conic, solid, longitudinally wrinkled'

 the early whorls appear smooth, the lens shows them to be engraved
