T. plus minusve depressa, concentrice leviter striata, angulari, 

 acutis.sime carinata ; infra angulum paululum complanata; apertura 

 triangulari ; labio interno tenuissimo ; columella sub-complanata ; 

 ad basin sub-undata ; labio externo acute, valide reflexo, expanso,

It diff'ers from acutissima in being more conical. Found on 

 the leaves of palms, or on mountains in the Isle of Negros by H.

 T. H. acutissimae simili, sed crassiori ; labio interno valido. 

 Not having seen the shell, we are uncertain of its distinctness ; 



it appears from the figure, however, to be more solid and more 

 distinctly conical than H. acutissima, with the inner lip thickened.
