Family LXXXI. LIOTIID.E. 

 Genus Delphinoidea Brown. 



Shell orbicular, depressed, widely umbilicated; spire short; whorls transversely striated or 

 cancellated; aperture round, not nacreous; peristome continuous, simple.

 beneath plane of upper periphery of the body-whorl; whorls two and one-half, nearly circular in 

 cross-section; surface ornamented by numerous subequal, rounded spiral ridges, and very minute 

 transverse lines, the whole giving the surface a cancellated appearance; irregular lines dejioting 

 interruption in growth are common on the body- whorl; suture deeply appressed; umbilicus wide, 

 deep; aperture suboval; peristome continuous, rather thick, slightly effuse.
