This -species is distinguished by the numerous fine reddish lines 

 encircling the whole of the shell, more numerous on the base, and 

 by the pink and brown peristome. (Braz.} 



Brazier changes the name to mulgravei, because the locality given 

 in his first description proved incorrect. See Hedley, L c.
