HKLIX. "2~)\ 



An attractive species, which may he distinguished from the pre- 

 ceding by the small apex. The pallid coloration, light, decu ;itr<l 

 shell, sometimes partly denuded of the very thin cuticle, are the 

 more prominent characters. 



The peristome is very narrowly expanded except at its insertion 

 in all the specimens T have seen ; but a form figured by Kobelt ( pi. 

 (>s. h'g. 21,) shows a considerable departure from the type in this 

 respect. 

 II. NOKDMAXNI Parreyss, 1859. PI. .~>7. figs. 16-18. 



Covered or nearly covered perforate, depressed-globose, rather 

 solid, shining, yellowish white or greenish yellow, encircled by five 

 rather narrow deep brown bands, the second band narrowest ; finely 

 obliquely striate ; spire d. 'pressed conic, excentric, apex polished, 

 blunt; suture well impressed; whorls 4-4 j, convex, regularly and 

 moderately increasing, the last rapidly widening, very wide at the 

 aperture, decidedly indented at the umbilical region, descending an- 

 teriorly; aperture oblique, slightly contracted, whitish, banded with 

 dark within; peristome white or flesh-tinted, slightly thickened 

 within, margins converging slightly, joined by a thin whitish callus, 

 outer lip simple, columellar margin strongly arcuate, with a triangu- 

 lar dilation over the rather wide umbilicus, almost concealing it.

Armenia ; Imeretin. 



May be known by the depressed form, rapid widening of the last 

 whorl toward the aperture, and the umbilicus, which is quite wide 

 for a Poiiniflii.

A species grouping with n/>fi<*ti/ix, inn-ilinniini. rlirixfophi, nia//-:nni ; 

 most allied to H. obtiixti/ix \_H. niff/nri-s] but larger, bright white, 

 Hve fasciate : spire more conic, whorls more convex, separated by 

 deeper sutures ; aperture more oblique, larger; peristome more ex- 

 panded, rosaceous, not brown, the basal margin broad, plane, reflex- 

 ed. Diam. 3,x, alt. .'H mill. 



The large apex and coloration are like obtiixn/ix, but the convex 

 whorls, conic spire and rosy peril reme, which is reflexed and widen- 

 ed below, will serve to separate the species.
