and below ; spire conoidal, slightly raised, suture impressed ; 

 whorls 6, convex above, the last rounded at the periphery, rather 

 flatly convex beneath ; aperture slightly oblique, rather broadly 

 lunate; peristome thin, the upper and basal margins faintly 

 arcuate, columellar oblique, obtuse, expanded and slightly reflected 

 above, with a very slight salient angle, not always recognizable, 

 near the perforation. 



Major diam. 8 j, min. 7J, height 4 mm.

Near M. bintennensis, but larger and distinguished by more 

 open perforation, much paler colour, and more numerous whorls. 



There is also much resemblance to Macrochlamys viUpensa, but 

 that has only five whorls, and a differently-shaped aperture and 

 columellar margin.
