The lamellae and plicae are all stronger and longer than in 

 avenacea. The spiral lamella is either continuous with the 

 angular or separated from it. There is a deeply immersed 

 suprapalatal plica. The columellar lamella sometimes emerges 

 Aveakly to the lip, sometimes not, but there is a slender lamella 

 in the angle of columella and parietal wall. The specimens 

 figured are from the Marchesa Paulucci.

Shell short, deeply rimate, ovate-conic, lusterless, translu- 

 cent, closely, obliquely rib-striate, pale corneous-yellow, the 

 spire rather long, turrited, obtuse at apex; 7-7y 2 whorls are 

 weakly convex, with simple, strongly impressed suture, the 

 last somewhat ascending in front, slightly compressed below; 

 the neck ribbed, impressed above the middle anteriorly. Aper- 

 ture large, nearly ovate, 7-folded, 3 folds stand in the palate, 

 2 on the parietal wall, and 2 on the columella. The palatal 

 folds are long and show outside as white lines ; peristome ex 

 panded, scarcely thickened, whitish, the margins strongly con- 

 verging, joined by a thin, glossy callous. Length 21/0-2%, 

 diam. % lines (Kuester).
