Similar to E. boucardi, but with more widely spaced riblets, 

 with no spirals in the intervals. Strebel 's figure of a specimen 

 from near Misantla (fig. 12) is more slender than the type 

 from Cordova (figs. 8, 9). Strebel counted 77 riblets on the 

 penultimate whorl, which had a diameter of 12 mm. 



E. DESHAYESIANUM Crosse & Fischer. PI. 2, figs. 13, 14. 



Shell slightly arcuate-subrimate, cylindric-turreted, rather 

 solid; dull and pale fleshy- whitish under a somewhat glossy, 

 pale yellow and almost completely deciduous cuticle. Spire 

 slightly tapering, broadly truncate ; suture deeply impressed. 

 7 to 8 whorls remaining, nearly flat, narrow, the first 3 or 4 

 slightly oblique and very delicately, following ones incon- 

 spicuously striatulate, the last whorl suddenly descending, 

 very shortly free, obtusely angular above, obsoletely subcarin- 

 ate below the middle. Aperture slightly oblique, irregularly 

 subangulate-rounded, white within; peristome continuous, 

 somewhat thickened, very narrowly reflexed throughout, 

 white, the columella hardly folded within. Length 32, diam. 

 91/2 mm.; apert. with perist. 7 mm. long, 6% wide (C. & F.).

Distinguished by its small size, narrow whorls, incon- 

 spicuous striation and the facility with which the cuticle is 

 lost in adults. Only the two type specimens in the Museum 

 of Natural History at Paris are known.
