ORCULA. 257 



Orcula wagneri Sturany. PI. 21, figs. 12, 13. 



Shell rimate, long-cylindric with broad, conic, rounded 

 summit, or ovate-conic ; yellowish to reddish horn-colored ; 

 fresh specimens with fine, rather close epidermal rib-striae, 

 which give the shell a clear silky luster. The spire consists 

 of iy 2 to 8 whorls, at first weakly convex, later nearly flat, 

 and separated by a shallow but distinctly impressed suture. 

 The last whorl is rounded around the umbilicus, and it ascends 

 a little and for a long distance to the aperture. The thin 

 peristome is narrowly expanded, the columellar margin 

 straight, the outer margin curved nearly in a half-circle, the 

 insertions connected by a very thin callus. In the throat there 

 is a callus, showing yellowish through the shell outside (simi- 

 lar to that of Orcula gularis Rssm., but weaker), which often 

 thickens the middle of the outer margin to a weak tooth, 

 though appearing never to be prolonged fold-like. The pari- 

 etal lamella is high and curved outwardly. On the columella 

 there are two weak folds, which usually end deep in the throat, 

 rarely reaching the peristome. 



Length 5.3 to 6.5, diam. 3 to 3.2 mm. (Sturany).
