" Closely related to G. inornata, but more glossy and having 



much less distinct microscopic granulation The outlines of 



the spire are straighter ; there are more whorls in the same 

 length, and the aperture is smaller. G. beddomei has a more 

 protnineut and more deeply truncate columella." (Pilsbry.)
