" It comes near to the forms of A. inyrami, W. Blanf., var., 

 pis. iv & V, J. A. S. B. vol. xl, part 2, 1871, from the same 

 range of mountains, but its tumid shape, and particularly the very 

 produced aperture, render it a very distinct and well-marked 

 species. 



" A single specimen .... from Teria Ghat is very near this 

 species, differing in being sn.ialler, major diam. 4*75 mm., with a 

 flatter spire, and costulation adjacent to the sutural tube very 

 much finer, not so closely wound." {Godivin-Ansten.)
