Shell small, white, the upper surface of the whorls with very 

 small distinct rose-red dots sparsely distributed on the raised nodules 

 of the sculpture, or all white ; five or more inflated strongly sculpt- 

 ured whorls, and a smooth nucleus. Spiral sculpture of, on the 

 upper surface of the last whorl, two small and two strong spiral 

 alternated ribs, one of the smaller just below the suture ; a large 

 spiral on the periphery and four on the base ; crossed by numerous 

 obliquely radiating threads, which make the early whorls coarsely 

 reticulate with nodules at the intersections, while in the later whorls 

 the radiations become less marked and the spirals more numerous 

 and more conspicuously nodulous. Whorls rounded, apex a little 

 blunt, suture distinct, not channelled, base rounded, umbilicus none ; 

 pillar nearly straight, with a strong tooth near its base, aperture 

 rounded, oblique, a little descending above, with six or eight stout 

 lirte ending in tooth-like nodules, body with a moderate layer of 

 nacreous callus. Alt. 5'0, diam. 4'5 mill. (Dall.)

Section Hybochelus Pilsbry. 



Species of this Section have a great resemblance to certain forms 

 of Stomatella. I believe them nevertheless to belong to Euchelus.
