Shell imperforate, trochiforni, uhite with a thin yellowish 

 deciduous epidermis, smooth, tinely striated obliquely, with traces 

 of obsolete decussating lines ; spire conical with perfectly straight 

 sides, sutures not impressed; whorls G.], perfectly flat above, the 

 last sharply keeled, but little convex boieath ; aperture oblique, 

 almost diagonal, subrhomboidal ; peristome thiu, columellar

[A specimen from Ivandy. collected by Mr. O. Collett, has a 

 pale ochre-coloured foot with a dark patch on the side of the 

 neck, the overhanging lobe at extremity of foot conspicuous. 

 The pei-ipodial margin very broad, paler than the rest of the 

 body, the grooves above very close together. The left dorsal lobe 

 a narrow strip, not divided into two lobes. In the genitalia the 

 male organ has the distinct loop as in tlie larger species of the 

 genus, and with a large araatorial organ. 



Kadula : centre and admedian teeth as usual, the laterals very 

 numerous, loiig, curved, evenly bicuspid, becoming verv minute 

 on the edge. Arranged thus :
