The typical form is thin, translucent, sometimes with, sometimes 

 without the narrow chestnut bands. A brownish tract surrounds 

 the white columella, and the reflexed peristome is brownish-black. 

 Upon all 3 examples there is a wide whitish and lacerated band at 

 the periphery, formed of the otherwise inconspicuous hydrophanous 

 cuticle. ($.) 



Hidalgo describes three color-varieties: 



1. Shell chestnut, unicolored (pi. 54, fig. 42.) 



2. Shell tawny, columellar area and suture brov\ 7 n. 



3. Like the last, but periphery with a chestnut band (pi. 54, fig. 

 41.) 



S.-mper considered the following form a variety, but Hidalgo says 

 that it does not belong to the same species. 



Var. (pi. 34, figs. 3, 4). Shell much thicker ; peristome bluish- 

 white; no dark columellar area.
