Allied to H. variabilis, but the umbilicus is smaller, the lip-callus 

 white, and the surface far more strongly striated. The specimens 

 before me were sent by Locard. 



H. lauracina Fagot, of which authentic specimens from the orig-

 grannonensis Bgt., salentina Blanc, mendranoi Servain.

 The species occurs at Rome and many other localities in Italy. See 

 Bull. Soc. Mai. Ital. xiv, p. 62, pi. 2, f. 8-10. 



H. TERVERI Mich. (Vol. Ill, p. 240.)
