The shell is obliquely rimate, subperforate, slender, regu- 

 larly tapering from the last whorl to the obtuse apex, cinna- 

 mon-brown. First whorl is minutely granular, the rest ob- 

 liquely rib-striate. All the whorls are rather strongly convex, 

 regularly increasing, the last somewhat compressed and taper- 

 ing to the narrowly rounded base, the suture scarcely or not 

 ascending to the lip. The aperture is slightly oblique, oblong, 

 brown within, with whitish teeth and margin. The angular 

 lamella is rather short; no spiral lamella; parietal lamella 

 longer. Columella lamella subhorizontal, not emerging to the 

 peristome in front, obliquely ascending to a dorsal position 

 inwardly; subcolumellar lamella smaller and shorter. The 

 small upper and lower palatal plicae do not reach the lip ; both 

 are short, but the upper somewhat longer. Peristome is thin, 

 the outer lip and columellar margins subparallel, outer very 

 slightly expanded, strongly arched above, columellar ex- 

 panded ; terminations approach and are joined by a scarcely 

 perceptible, transparent callous, which is corrugated by the 

 striae. 



Length 6.3, diam. including lip 1.8 mm. ; 7% whorls. 



Length 5.3 mm. ; 7 whorls.
