5. Helix decussatula, Pease. 



Description. — T. discoidea, depressa, umbilicata, fusco-casta- 

 nea et fulvo-maculose strigata, oblique confertim et arcuatim 

 costata, costellis volventibus decussata ; anfr. 4-5, convexo- 

 rotundatis, setigeris ornatis; sutura impressa, spira parum 

 elevata ; ad peripheriam rotundatim obsolete angulato ; um- 

 bilico £ diametri subasquante ; apertura elliptica, vix obliqua, 

 lamella unica intro volvente iastructa. 



Dimensions. — Diam. 4 J, alt. 2| mill. 



Shell discoidal, depressed, umbilicate, obliquely ribbed, ribs 

 close, small, and somewhat curved or flexuous, decussated by

 ornamented with short hairs; suture impressed, spire but 

 slightly elevated ; periphery rounded or obtusely angulated ; 

 umbilicus about one-third the diameter of the shell, rounded 

 on its edge; aperture somewhat oblique, and roundly ellipti- 

 cal, furnished with a single prominent lamella on the penulti- 

 mate whorl ; the radiating ribs of the exterior extend within 

 the aperture. Mottled and striped irregularly with chestnut-

 vata, apice obtuso, basi convexiusculo, ad umbilicum rotunde 

 angulato; umbilico J diametri subasquante; apertura sub- 

 rhomboidea, lamellis duabus conspicuis parietalibus, unica 

 parva in supero, dentibus lamellaaformis tribus in labium.
