Shell widely umbilicated, discoidal, flattened, angiilated, with a peripheral 

 keel ; whorls six to six and a half, slightly tabulated near the sutures, which 

 latter are deeply impressed ; surface finely granulated, varying in different 

 specimens ; and otherwise sculptured by conspicuous subacute ribs parallel 

 with the lines of growth both above and below, which meet, and sometimes 

 cross, the peripheral keel ; these ribs are more or less irregular and uneven, 

 of varying prominence, and are also unequally spaced, being closely crowded 

 in some places and farther apart in others. Aperture ol)li(piely subangiilate, 

 semilunate ; peristome moderately thickened, reflected somewhat, covering the 

 open umbilicus, and made continuous by a connecting thin deposit of callus 

 (ih the labium. Color, in some specimens, dingy white to white, in others a 

 dingy redilish white, ornamented with a double revolving band, — the upper 

 stripe being whitish, the lower reddish or light chestnut just above, and con- 

 tiguous to the peripheral keel ; the pinch or fold of the keel taking up what 

 in Helix Alormonum is the third or lower stripe of white.
