The synonymy is that given by Cooke. Martens remarks that 

 the spiral striation and elongated contour resembles Atys. Fig. 85 

 represents the synonymous A. isseli of H. Adams. Smith's descrip- 

 tion is as follows : H. tequistriata, shell oblong, cylindrical, with 

 rounded sides, white, pellucid, thin, shining, striated with irregular 

 growth-lines and transverse lines; strice (about 36) equidistant or 

 nearly so ; vertex depressed, aperture rather wide, dilated at base ; 

 the thin lip inserted in the middle of the vertex ; columella curved,, 

 slightly reflexed. Alt. 12, diam. 6 mill. 



H. RUGOSA Smith. Unfigured. 



Shell cylindrical with curved sides, white, pellucid ; above lightly, 

 below distinctly striated, irregularly roughened by growth-lines ; 

 vertex little depressed ; aperture rather wide, dilated at base ; lip 

 thin, subaugulate above and inserted in the middle of the vertex ; 

 columella short, reflexed, nearly covering a narrow chink, subtrun- 

 cate. Alt. 6, diam. 3 mill. (S.).

H. rugosa Smith, Ann. Mag. N. H. (4), ix, p. 35, 1872. 



This shell belongs to the same group as brevis Q. & G. It is 

 peculiar for the longitudinal irregular wrinkles formed by occa- 

 sional deep lines of growth. (S.).

Shell globosely ovate, inferiorly subventricose, thin, semiopaque,.
