Smoother than B. ustulatus, with less variegated coloration. u It 

 is closely related to B. ustulatus and is rather nearly approached by 

 certain dwarfish, unusually smooth specimens of B. rugulosus. B. 

 nucula Pfr. is also closely allied."

 rugulose-striate ; brownish-corneous, generally with a single pale 

 girdle. Spire convex-conic, acute. Whorls 6, a trifle convex, the 

 last a little shorter than the spire, slightly compressed at base.
