I have never seen a specimen with hirsute cuticle as it is figured 

 by Ferussac. The numerous specimens before me show but slight 

 variation except in size. The spiral bands of chestnut-colored spots 

 are more numerous than in other species, especially on the base.

Orbicular, depressed, umbilicate, subcarinate, thin, translucent, 

 fragile; the surface above is shagreened at the summit, but the two 

 last whorls of the spire are sculptured by elevated oblique, inter- 

 rupted and zigzag ridges, which cover most of the surface ; the tract 

 around the umbilicus is entirely smooth. The spire is obviously 

 elevated, composed of 6 whorls, a little carinated ; umbilicus narrow, 

 partly concealed by the lip ; aperture very oblique, broader than 

 high ; peristome wide, broadly reflexed, sinuous at the columella. 

 Color yellowish fawn ornamented with 3 spiral series of spots above, 

 2 below T ; two of the bands above are composed of transverse 

 elongated interrupted fawn-colored blotches ; the third is median and 

 linear; beneath, the outer band is composed of broad transverse 

 spots, which unite with a second one, composed of elongated 

 interrupted spots. Peristome white. ( Or6.)
