The columella of this species is like that of Ortho stylus leuco- 

 phcea, but the light texture, distinctly angular periphery and style 

 of coloring cause me to consider it a Hypselostyla.

 with white flames. Spire elongated, apex obtuse. Whorls 6,

 ture trapezoidal, blue; peristome slightly thickened, narrowly 

 reflexed and black-edged. (Semp.~)

I have not seen this form, but no characters except size^ separat-
