sculptured above, smooth and polished on base ; narrowly or not 

 perforated. Although possessing shell-lobes, the position of the 

 right shell-lobe is below the inner upper angle of the peristome, 

 and plays only over the lower surface of the shell a position 

 different from that in Macrochlamys. The animal has a very 

 hooked lobe above the mucous pore. 



The differences between this genus and Macrochlamys are shown 

 in the description of the animal of H. anceps below.]

Shell scarcely perforate, lenticular, sharply keeled, pale horny, 

 dull and obliquely plicately striated above, polished and with fine 

 radiating striation beneath, no longitudinal sculpture ; spire low, 

 conoidal, suture not impressed, bordered by a more or less distinct 

 line inside ; whorls 6, almost flat above, increasing slowly, the last

 pressed beneath the keel ; aperture slightly oblique, angulately 

 lunate ; peristome thin, basal margin faintly arcuate, colurnellar 

 oblique, briefly reflected above.

Animal dark grey with a distinct greenish tinge. Sole divided 

 longitudinally into three tracts, that in the middle broader than 

 the others. Tail-gland with slightly thickened edges and a small 

 hook-like appendage above. The left shell-lobe (fig. 79, A) has below 

 the angular periphery a Ungulate process, reflected over the basal 

 part of the peristome, and ends with another shorter process near 

 the shell-retractor; the right shell-lobe has a lingulate process 

 next to the pulmonary opening, and another broader one covering 

 the columellar lip. Dorsal lobe well developed. G-enitalia (B, B') 

 rather peculiar; the dart-sac or amatorial organ is very thick 

 and provided with a strong pointed papilla. Spermatheca very 

 long and slender. Vns deferens leading to a kale-sac, which gives 

 off an elongate flagellar appendage close to the junction and leads 

 to the bend of the penis, to which the retractor muscle is attached.
