132 ZONITIM:. 



Hob. Jeypore, Vizagapatam. The locality originally given, 

 Anaimalai Hills, is erroneous, as in the case of M. infausta and 

 M. lixa. 



This may perhaps be a variety of M. licca, with a lower spire.

Shell rather openly perforate, conoidly depressed, very thin, 

 translucent, polished below, less so above, smooth, without longi- 

 tudinal sculpture, but minutely, closely, and flexuously striated, 

 transversely on some of the inner whorls, yellowish to fulvous 

 horny ; spire very low, but varying in height, suture impressed ; 

 whorls 6|, slightly convex above, the last broader, bluntly sub- 

 angulate above the periphery, somewhat tumid beneath ; aperture 

 slightly oblique, roundly lunate ; peristome very thin, columellar 

 margin much curved, vertical and reflected above, partly covering 

 the perforation. 



Major diam. 30, min. 25|, height 13^ mm. Other specimens 

 measure 30, 26 j, and 15|, and 28, 23, and 13.

Hob. A considerable part of the Bombay Presidency. Common 

 at Bombay and Khandalla, and reported from Cutch (Stoliczka), 

 Poona, Singhar (W. T. B.\ Ahmednagar, and South Canara 

 (Beddome). The South Canara shell has a higher spire. A very 

 similar form, perhaps a variety, is found at Karnul (Beddome). 



Animal pale to dark grey or blackish in colour shell-lobes well 

 developed, right dorsal lobe ample, left dorsal lobes in two parts. 

 Teeth in radula of usual form : 44 . 3 . 14 . 1 . 14 . 3 . 44 (61 . 1 . 61). 

 The genitalia differ from those of typical Macrochlamys by the 

 caecum of the male organ not being coiled, [thus resembling much
