The figures of Orbigny are poor ; the species is never gibbous 

 beneath as shown in pi. 11, fig. 11. These figures (10-12) are en- 

 larged. The species may be known by its umbilicus and the de- 

 pressed, often subangulated body-whorl.

Imperforate, globose-depressed, thin, fragile, light russet-brown, 

 with a scarcely visible supra-peripheral light fascia, all over elegant- 

 ly, very regularly and densely plicate-striate, lusterless or nearly 

 so; spire low-conoidal, apex a little obtuse, the first H whorls 

 smooth, submammillated ; suture moderately impressed ; whorls 4, 

 the last rapidly widening, rounded, a trifle descending anteriorly ; 

 aperture rotund-lunate, slightly oblique, ribbed inside the same as 

 outside ; peristome a trifle expanded, its terminations somewhat 

 approaching; right margin regularly arcuate, columellar margin re- 

 flexed, a small triangular callus adnate over the umbilicus.

stria?. 



H. PEMPHIGODES Pfeiffer. PI. 12, fig. 33. 



Imperforate, depressed-conoidal, very fragile, sub-translucent 

 nearly lusterless, light russet or brownish corneous, wrinkles of in- 

 crement rather light, or surface strongly costate ; spire conical, 

 apex minute, rather acute; whorls 4, very rapidly windening, 

 scarcely convex, the last angular in front of the aperture, the angle 

 more or less evanescent toward its termination, slightly deflected 

 anteriorly ; aperture large, oblique, truncate-oval or rounded-lunar; 

 peristome simple, acute or a little expanded, margins somewhat 

 converging, the pillar-lip reflexed and adnate at the place of the 



umbilicus. Alt. 14, diam. maj. 19, min. 15, mill.
