"Shell shortly rimate, subperf orate, oblong-ovate, thin, 

 glossy, corneous ; spire subturrite, the apex rather obtuse ; 

 51/2 convex whorls. Aperture subrotund, four-toothed: one 

 tooth on the parietal wall, one on the columella, two callous 

 teeth in the lower part of the palate ; peristome white, shortly 

 expanded, the margins joined by a thin callous. Length 2^,

Pfeiffer's original example was probably from Matanzas 

 province, where he collected. Kiister states that the neck is 

 somewhat flattened, with a callous (crest) running parallel 

 to the lip ; the peristome has a pretty strong white lip. Like 

 Pfeiffer, he describes only four teeth. PL 11, fig. 8, is copied 

 from his plate.

The shell is shortly rimate, cylindric, with coiivexly conic, 

 obtuse summit; cinnamon to sayal-brown, paler at the sum- 

 mit, somewhat glossy, lightly, irregularly striate. Whorls 

 5%, rather strongly convex, the last one flattened in the 

 region of the lower palatal plica, and slightly impressed over 

 the basal plica; having a low crest (fig. 4) close behind the 

 outer lip (variable in prominence). The aperture has five 

 teeth. The angulo-parietal lamella is sinuous, showing a dis- 

 tinct spur on the right side, in a front view; in basal view 

 (pi. 12, fig. 5) this spur is seen to be the inner end of the 

 angular lamella, while the parietal lamella forms a very in-
