and beset all round with dense, fine, short hairs. The 

 colour is a dull white, and the valves are distinctly marked 

 with three black, somewhat waved fascia?, running trans- 

 versely across the shell at unequal distances, the most an- 

 terior of the three being the smallest. Posterior margin 

 rather narrower than anterior.* 



Halt. Neighbourhood of London, Rugby, &c. &c. ; 

 common during the summer months.

Shell of a rhomboidal form, rounded at posterior margin, 

 and truncated as it were anteriorly ; glabrous, with a few 

 hairs on posterior margin. The surface of the shell is re- 

 ticulated, or, as Miiller says, marked with small points 

 impressed into, or as it were excavated out of, the shell. 

 The upper part is nearly of a white colour, while the lower 

 portion of anterior margin, and part of posterior, are very 

 dark, shaded with a yellow green. The filaments of pos- 

 terior antennae are long. 



A very pretty and well-marked species. 



* It is not so narrow at the posterior extremity as is represented by 

 Juriiie. Muller's figure represents the anterior extremity as the narrower.
