" This form is allied to Cgclopliorus scissimargo, Bens., and 



C. tomotrema, Bens The present species is smaller and 



higher in the spire than either of the others. The animal of 



C. leporimis is short, dark in colour, with small black tentacles, 



and resembles ordinary Cijcloplwri in most characters. The only 



specimen obtained living and examined, posssesed, however, the 



peculiarity of a groove down the middle of the caudal portion of 



the foot above. 



" The peristome is simple in the only perfect adult specimen 



which I possess, but in a broken barely adult shell, there is a 



rudimentary duplication. The two lips are probably united in 



the full grown shell." {Blanford.)
