The figure of Savigny, which is the only illustration yet pub- 

 lished, evidently represents this species, says Issel, but does not 

 show the characteristic longitudinal striae. 



In the case of this species as well as the preceding, Issel adopts 

 Ehrenberg's name instead of the earlier one of Audouin, evidently 

 because Ehrenberg gave descriptions.

One of the smallest forms yet discovered. It is quite smooth, 

 white and shining, of an oval form, rather narrower at the base 

 than toward the vertex. (Sm.).
