This diffei's from E. concavosjnra in having tlie whorls quite flat 

 ahove and the suture not impressed, and in the almost complete 

 absence of sculpture except slight transverse striation. The 

 apex is slightly exserted and the sides of the spire faintly concave. 

 The colour is horny, sometimes streaked with opaque white.

In some specimens the striation is more distinct, and there are 

 traces of spiral sculpture on the upper whorls.

Shell imperforate, trochiform, thin, diaphanous, obliquely 

 striated above, radiately and arcuately beneath, covered with a 

 deciduous yellowish-fulvous epidermis, thickest below, beneath the 

 epidermis whitish horny, with, in some specimens, two rufous 

 bands, one above, the other beloM" the keel ; spire conical, sides 

 slightly concave, apex pointed, suture not impressed ; whorls 7-71, 

 flat above, the last compressedly keeled, slightly convex towards 

 the middle beneath ; aperture oblique, subtetragonal, hatchet- 

 shaped ; peristome thin, columellar margin vertical above and 

 briefly reflexed, covei'ing the perforation.

Distinguished from -£*. o/>uY(to by higher spire and im perforation. 

 Nevill's MS. name is inappropriate, as the bands are not always 

 present.

Shell imperforate, depressedly turbinate, very thin, pale, and 

 more or less yellowish horny, obliquely striated, decussated with 

 microscopic spiral (longitudinal) impressed lines on some of the 

 inner whorls ; spire conoidal, apex subacute, suture impressed ; 

 whorls 5, moderately convex above, the last considerably broader, 

 slightly compressed at the periphery, tumidly convex beneath, 

 the depth beneath the periphery exceeding the height of the

 thin, columellar margin much curved, vertical above and slightly 

 reflected, completely closing the perforation.
