Genus FRIDOLINIA Pilsbry, 1894. 



Shell large, heavy, depressed-turbinate, urubilicate when young, 

 closed in the adult; surface obliquely coarsely malleated. Last 

 whorl large, descending in front and strongly constricted behind the 

 lip, swollen in the middle of the base. Aperture very oblique, 

 toothless; peristome narrowly reflexed, its remote terminations 

 joined by a callus, the basal and columellar margins thickened 

 by a heavy callus within. Type H. lucani Tourn., pi. 71, figs. 55, 56. 



This group, the type of which is a Miocene fossil of Dijon, is dis- 

 tinguished mainly by the tumid base, strong constriction behind the 

 lip, and coarse sculpture. Its affinities are problematic. 



Section Pseudoleptaxis Pilsbry, 1894. 



Shell solid, imperforate, globose, sculptured with oblique wrinkles ; 

 last whorl large, rounded, constricted behind the thickened, expanded 

 lip. Aperture lunate, oblique ; columellar lip dilated. Type H. 

 corduensis (Noul.) Sandb., pi. 71, figs. 57, 58. 



Perhaps to the Oligocene type of this group is to be added the 

 lower Miocene H. ramondi A. Braun, but that form may really be- 

 long to Plebecula.
