This is the largest Melania with which I am acquainted, and is very 

 massive. It differs from the large Melania found about Calcutta (of 

 which, also, I am unable to find any description), by its larger size, 

 darker color, more numerous folds, which bear about four tubercles 

 each, instead of having usually only a median carina bearing acute 

 tubercles.
