 L. PYROPUS Reeve, 1848. PL 44, fig. 67. 



Shell somewhat depressly ovate, imperforated, sutures of the spire 

 simple, whorls smooth, spirally encircled with striaj; whitish, lines 

 bright red, interior silvered. {Reeve?) 



Habitat unknown. 



Known to me only by Reeve's description and figure. It may 

 not be a Leptothyra. 



Doubtful, undetermined and spurious species of Leptothyra. 

 A portion of the following species can be determined by an inspec- 

 tion of the type specimens, in those cases where they can be found. 

 The others or all of them, perhaps, had better be ignored. I have 

 given the original descriptions.
