 form wider, mouth rounder, columella inflated, and especially dis-

The subgeneric position is uncertain. PfeifFer gives the following 

 diagnosis : 



Shell profoundly rimate, subperforate, turrited, oblong, thin, 

 nearly smooth (very minutely decussated when seen under the lens)> 

 diaphanous; brownish-ashen. Spire lengthened, the apex somewhat 

 obtuse. Whorls 7 -8, convex, the last about equal to two-fifths the 

 total alt., a trifle compressed at base. Columella somewhat receding. 

 Aperture a little oblique, oval ; peristome simple, unexpanded ; colu- 

 mellar margin dilated and wide. Alt. 22, diam. 9 mill. ; aperture 9 

 mill, long, 41 wide inside. (Pfr.).
