E. vihex, E. linterip, E. hoysiana, E. arcuata, E. nivicola, and 

 E. hiittoni form a rather homogeneous group in the genus, charac- 

 terized by the opacjue white transverse streaks on a dark corneous 

 or fuscous ground, the sinistral convolutions, and the compara- 

 tively short stature, none of the species exceeding 20 mm. in 

 length. As regards contour, E. vihex and E. nivicola are the two 

 extremes of the series, the former being the most cylindrical and 

 the latter the most ventricose in outline.
