Belongs to the group of which H. planulata is the type. [Said to

 infra valde convexa, lata et profunde umbilicata; anfr. 4£, leviter

Much like H. scabriuscula in form and aperture, but quite different

Young specimens might be confounded with H. Himalana Lea, 

 which is much more rounded, the surface smoother, the carina quite 

 iudistiuct, and the umbilicus smaller.
