This small species has relations with H. chersina, Say, and 

 IT. indentata, Say. It resembles the former in its small size 

 and many whorls, but differs in color and depressed spire, 

 though sometimes almost as acute. It is related to the latter in 

 its color and indented lines of growth, but differs in its greater 

 number of whorls and much smaller size, and in the proportional 

 size of the last whorl." — American Jour, of Concliology^ ii. p.
