The present species is included iu the Eauna of British India 

 with some doubt, its habitat being unknowii. Hanley & Theobald 

 (Conch. Ind. p. 33) considered it near to, if not identical witli, 

 G. parabilis, but it differs in the mucli more contracted aperture. 

 The sculpture is rather striking.
