the toothed peristome. Aspasita Maria and its local forms 

 are larger throughout, have 6 more slowly increasing whorls, 

 a narrower umbilicus, more widely spaced ribs, the last whorl 

 descends strongly in front, the aperture is more oblique with 

 more distinctly thickened and diversely toothed lip" (S. 

 & W.).

Shell perspectively umbilicate, depressed, buff-white, ele- 

 gantly costulate ; aperture a little sinuous, very oblique, peri- 

 stome acutely subreflexed, lipped with white. Alt. %, diam. 

 1%-1% lines; 5 whorls (Schmidt). 



The shell is thick disk-shaped, with flatly conic spire, wart- 

 like projecting apex and broad, perspective umbilicus ; yel- 

 lowish-white, somewhat opaque, but translucent and rather 

 strong-shelled. The sculpture consists of rather close, lamelli- 

 form raised regular riblets, the embryonic whorls being 

 smooth. Spire consists of 4% slowly increasing, convex 

 whorls, which are parted by a rather deep suture, the last 

 whorl descends forward slowly but pretty deeply, and is 

 somewhat flattened laterally. The oblique aperture is rather 

 rounded triangular. The weakly thickened peristome expands 

 narrowly, its insertions remote and connected by a thin callus. 

 The insertion of the upper margin is distinctly retracted; 

 the basal margin somewhat curved forward in the middle, the 

 columellar margin narrowly reflected. Alt. 2.1, diam. 3.7 mm. 

 (Sturany & Wagner).
