Section Caprinus Montfort, 1810. 



Caprinus MONTF., Conch. Syst., ii, p. 142, type Caprinus recognitus 

 Montf. (=If. lychnuchus Miill.). Lucidula SWAINS., Treatise on 

 Malacol., p. 329, type barbadensis (=isabella Fer.). Lucernella 

 SWAINS., t. c.,p. 330, type hippocastaneum(=nuxdenticulata). Den- 

 tellaria BECK, Index Molluscorum p. 34, (1837), and of subsequent 

 authors. Not Dentellaria Schumacher, Essai, p. 230 ! 



Shell imperforate, solid, opaque, globose or depressed, the spire 

 convex or conoidal, periphery rounded or keeled. Surface generally 

 granulated. Aperture transverse, wider than high, oblique, theper- 

 istome thick, expanded, the basal lip widened and generally toothed; 

 parietal wall covered with a callus, sometimes toothed. Type 

 see also (P. lychnuchus P. Isabella Fer., pi. 25, fig. 11 ; pi. 25, fig. 

 10, P. nuxdenticulata). 



Animal (of P. orbiculata) having the sole undivided ; edges of 

 foot with no trace of a foot-margin. Entire upper surface rather 

 evenly granulated, the granules arranged in rather indistinct lon- 

 gitudinal rows on the back, elsewhere irregularly placed. Mantle 

 margin without shell-lappets, the right body-lappet well developed, 

 the left minute, subobsolete. 



Jaw arcuate, solid, and either having few strong ribs (pachygastra, 

 orbiculata, Isabella, dentiens, nucleola, badia, nuxdenticulata) , or 

 without ribs, but having a median projection (formosa, Josephines). 

 P. orbiculata, perplexa and lychnuchus have weak ribs or traces of 

 ribs, thus connecting the two extremes of jaw structure (pi. 24, fig. 

 2, P. Josephines ; fig. 3, nuxdenticulata ; fig. 9, orbiculata; fig. 11, 

 dentiens}.
