It is easily distinguished from all forms of F. capensis by 

 the darker color, more numerous teeth and well-expanded 

 peristome. 



The edge of the angular lamella is bent towards the supra- 

 palatal denticle in the middle ; parietal lamella arcuate. 

 Columellar lamella enters horizontally; there is a small sub- 

 columellar lamella below it, and often a blunt projection be- 

 tween them. Both upper and lower palatal plicae enter deeply, 

 and are more or less sinuous or bilobed, the crest being de- 

 pressed in the middle. Basal plica similar but smaller, all 

 entering deeply. The suprapalatal plica is tooth-like, defin- 

 ing a sinulus. There is a small interpalatal plica, and gen- 

 erally another, so deeply placed as to be not readily visible, 

 between the basal plica and the columella. 



Length 8.4, diam. above aperture 3.8 mm. ; 9y 2 whorls. 



Length 7.7, diam. above aperture 3.5 mm. ; 10 whorls. 



The specimens figured are from Simonstown, collected by 

 Major Connolly. 



This species differs so much from capensis that it may be 

 placed in a section of the typical subgenus, to be called 

 Fauxulella. 



Subgenus TOMIGERELLA Pfeiffer. 



Tomigerella PFR., Nomenclator Heliceorum Viventium, 

 1878, p. 347, for Pupa soluta Pfr. 



Brown Fauxuli with the spire slender above, the lip well 

 expanded throughout, usually free ; only the angular lamella 

 and upper palatal plica emerging to the lip edge. Type F. 

 layardi.
