286. Cryptaustenia panchetensis, Godwin-Austin (Austenia), Mol 

 2nd. i, 1883, p. 153, pi. 37, figs. 3-3 b (shell). 



Shell very similar to G. bensoni, but the shell is thicker, and 

 the last whorl descends near the aperture. 



Major diam. 10J, min. 8, height 5 mm. 



Hab. Panchet Hill, W. of Baniganj, Bengal (W. T. B.}. 

 Godwin- Austen suggests that specimens from Eajmahal, Sikrigali, 

 and Patna in Bengal, referred by Nevill in his ' Hand-list ' to 

 A. ovata, may be the same as the Panchet shell.

Original description : " The shell-lobes are elongate and broad, 

 more or less papillate, enveloping the shell. The left dorsal is 

 divided into two lobes, the posterior one narrow. Lobe above 

 mucous gland overhanging. Foot long and narrow behind, the 

 sole with a simple straight sheath, the retractor muscle attached 

 at the end, and above a small bulbous enlargement where the 

 vas deferens joins. The amatorial organ is absent. The jaw has 

 a central projection. The central tooth is tricuspid, the admedian

 Nanina (Microcystina) perrotteti, Peile, Jour. Bomb. N. H. Soc. xi, 

 p. 134 (1897) : nee Pfeiffer. 



Shell openly perforate, conoidly depressed, thin, smooth, 

 polished, translucent, fulvous horny ; spire low, convexly conoidal, 

 apex obtuse, suture scarcely impressed, almost flat ; whorls 5, 

 slightly convex, the last rounded at the periphery, convex beneath ; 

 aperture oblique, subovately lunate ; peristome thin, outer margin 

 sinuate, basal straight, columellar oblique, slightly expanded 

 throughout, more broadly above. 



Major diam. 11, min. 9-J-, height 5^- mm. (a large specimen 

 measures 14 x 12 x 6J mm.). 



Hob. Bombay and neighbourhood. 



A variety larger and with a lower spire occurs at Champanir, 

 near Broach. A shell measures 16xl3|x7 mm.; others are 

 even larger. 



The animal is dark grey and has remarkably broad shell-lobes, 

 which cover a great part of the spire, sometimes nearly the whole,
