Shell rather large, iodine brown, more intense immediately behind 

 the peristome, which is yellow. Inconspicuous bands of darker brown 

 are also present, which are strongly marked on the inner half of tlie

This subspecies ranges from pale brown to pale iodine color, with 

 the peristome always pale yellow. In the darker forms the area be- 

 hind the peristome is of deeper coloration than the rest. The nuclear 

 whorls are pale and the early postnuclear whorls dark, while the 

 penultimate whorl is paler and the last turn behind the aperture 

 again matches the early postnuclear whorls. Inconspicuous spiral 

 bands are present. 



This race comes from ISIogote Mina.
