 Berry, 1931, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, vol. 44, p. 7, fig. 1 

 (Henry Mts., Utah, west of King's Kanch, type loc. ; also 

 Cannonville, Utah). Topotypes received from Prof. Cham- 

 berlin agree in every respect with P. hordaceus.

The shell is perforate and openly rimate; ovoid, tapering 

 from the last whorl to the rounded, obtuse summit; chestnut 

 colored. The surface is glossy, with fine, retractive striae of 

 growth, more prominent below the suture. The whorls are 

 moderately convex ; suture impressed. The peristome is light 

 brown, narrowly expanded, thickened within, the thickening 

 excised in the upper third of the outer lip. Columellar margin 

 dilated. The angular lamella tapers inward and is rather 

 short, not penetrating deeply, outwardly curving towards and 

 strongly connected with the insertion of the outer lip. Colu- 

 mella convex but without a superposed lamella or tooth.
