" This is one of the most distinct and interesting species of the 

 genus as yet discovered ; the few imperforate whorls, with markedly 

 obtuse apex ; the distinct, though minute, close punctulation ; the 

 unusually convex whorls, with the remarkable long, compressed, 

 slightly flattened, and egg-shaped last whorl are all good characters. 

 The suture is very distinct and, on the last whorl, distinctly 

 marginate below. The operculum is normal."
