sinuous, produced at the place of the peripheral angle and recurved, 

 below this recurved loop there is a strong compressed-conical tooth, 

 tipped with white ; basal margin straight, with a blunt tooth and 

 several small subobsolete folds ; parietal wall calloused ; umbilicus 

 almost completely covered by the expanded columellar insertion of 

 the peristome, which is appressed to the tumid base for a short dis- 

 tance.

This species is remarkable for its sinuous peristome, bronze-green 

 in color, and very iridescent. It is allied to the two preceding species. 

 The sinus in the middle of the outer lip is similar to that of some 

 species of the section Labyrinthus. Mons. Cousin errs in quoting 

 Mesembrinus geali Ad. in the synonymy of this species, and giving 

 the locality " Mexico ; " that species being a Mexican Biilbmdus.
