" This s]iecies occurs on rocks, and is distinguished by the 

 structure of the aperture from the small Boruean A. spiracellum, 

 A, & R. In the latter species, moreover, the rib behind and 

 above the aperture is nearl}'^ parallel with the peristome, whereas 

 in A. hehes it looks like a hoop which had fallen backwards on the 

 whorl. In both species it takes its rise at the right side of the 

 peristome, and ends at the suture, corresponding with an internal 

 sulcus." {Benson.)
