sides flatly convex; aperture broadly ovate; columellar margin

Size: maj. diam. 7:0; length 22°75 mm. 
This species was found among Blanford’s duplicate shells, the 
box marked with above locality and with the note “intermediate 
between tenwispira and pertenuis”; it differs quite sufficiently from 
both and from basseinensis to be distinguished. From the last, it is 
far longer at the body-whorl, which is very swollen, its sides more 
convex, and the apex is much larger. 
GLESSULA AKOUKTOUNGENSIS, n. Sp. 
Locality. Akouktoung on Irawady, Pegu (W. 7’. Blanford). 
Type. No. 2207.06.1.1 B.M. 
Shell elongately turreted; sculpture scarcely any, just a trace 
near apex below the suture; colour umber-brown; spire long, sides 
flat, apex blunt; suture impressed; whorls 10, sides flatly convex ; 
aperture ovate. 
Size: maj. diam. 5°75; length 20-5 mm. 
This species occurred among the duplicates in the Blanford 
Collection. Compared with G. basseinensis, it differs in sculpture, 
in colour, and the last whorl is more tumid in proportion to the 
length.

Original description :—“ A. pequensis, n. sp. Shell oblong ovate, 
rather solid, dark reddish brown, horny, marked with distinct and 
regular impressed lines. Spire convexly conical; apex obtuse ; 
suture impressed, subcrenulate. Whorls 64, slightly convex; the 
last ascending a little towards the mouth, and exceeding 4 of the 
shell in length; aperture vertical, truncately semicircular; peri- 
stome obtuse, slightly thickened; margins joined by a callus; 
columella very much curved, projecting forwards at the base, sub- 
vertically truncated within the peristome.

“ Habitat. Irawady Valley, Pegu: common. 
“ A pretty little species, darker in colour than any of its allies, 
except perhaps A. gemma, Bens., and easily distinguished from all, 
by the columella being more arcuate, also by its more acuminate 
spire and blunter apex, and its much stronger sculpture.” 
I give two figures of this shell, from authentic specimens in 
Hy. Blanford’s Collection, as there is some variation in form.
