amber to nearly white, rather dosely costulated throughout, more 

 strongly upon tlu^ inflated portion of the last whorl, and very 

 closely ribbed within the nmbilicus. Spire conoid, apex blunt, 

 deep rufous; suture impressed. Whorls 4, rounded, the hist 

 moderately swollen at the side, then constricted, and swelling again 

 slightly to\\ards the mouth. Constriction smooth; sutural tube 

 of moderate length, about 2 mm. Aperture oblique, round, peri- 

 stome crenulately Avaved on the outer edge, the lowest crenulation 

 forming a rudimentary channel at the base; peristome double, 

 the inner alone continuous, both lips somewhat expanded. 

 Operculum thin, horny, distinctly multispiral, very concave exter- 

 nally, iiiternally convex and with a prominent central nucleus.

 " It is a more globose form than either A. sitccineus, mihi, or 

 A. poh/gonomt, mihi, to which it is allied. The crenulation of the 

 mouth is perhaps more marl^ed than in any oilier Burmese 

 species."" ( Blanford. ) 



" . . . . the costulation at the base of the sutural tube is 

 particularly strong, and at first distant, and I would call attention 

 to the well-marked distant fine costulation on the smooth part of 

 the whorl anterior to this, the four costae behind the peristome 

 are veiy noticeable. The same species has been collected at Ava ; 

 in all the examples I have looked at, the peristome is less crenu- 

 lated and in two or three is hardly noticeable. The ribbing behind 

 the peristome is quite as strongly developed." {Godwin-Austen.)

Orirjincd description: — "Shell umbilicated, very globosely conoid ; 

 sculpture above fine, distinct horizontal striae superimposed by 

 fine regular and distant costulation — fine regular costulation on 

 the swollen part next the sutural tube ; spire high, apex small, 

 acute; suture impressed, the sutural tube very long; whorls 5, 

 the last verv rounded and swollen ; tlie constriction is sharp, the 

 distance to the aperture short, smooth, and neaidy flat; aper- 

 ture irregularly oval, curving above, nearly vertical on the 

 columellar side ; peristome thickened, double and strongly 

 crenulate on the outer margin, with three conspicuous ridges, 

 above these the inner lip is mucli thickened, the outer lip has a 

 marked expansion on the inner lower margin.
