• This species must not be confomlded with sirigillata, L., 

 to which it has considerable likeness as regards the coloration. 

 It may be at once distinguished by its acute plications, which 

 do not extend to the bottom of the whorls, whilst those in 

 the old species are quite flat and reach from suture to suture ; 

 and the body-whorl of the former is shorter than that of the 

 latter.
