 Inhabits Southern Europe, and is aland shell. LiniKZUs. Italy, 



Dauphiny, and Languedoc. Bruguiere. 

 Shell about half, or sometimes nearly three-quarters of an inch 

 long, and the breadth is nearly one-lifth of the length ; it is 

 smooth, of a brownish colour, with ten or eleven whirls, 

 and may be readily distinguished from its congeners by the 

 delicately crenulated suture. Gmelin has confounded T. 

 laminatus and T. biplicatus with this species, and several of 

 Born's references are erroneous, though his description is 

 good. T, bidens of Montagu is I', nigricans.
