Probably allied to 0. yatesi. I have not seen the species. 



O. YATESI (Pfeiffer). PI. 43. 



Shell imperforate, fusiform-oblong, solid, smooth, brown oliva- 

 ceous with black bands interrupted by arrow-shaped buff markings. 

 Spire long-conic, obtuse ; suture lightly margined, whorls 8, a little 

 convex, the last slightly exceeding two-fifths the total altitude, 

 tapering at base. Columella calloused, strongly folded above. 

 Aperture subvertical, elliptical oblong, subangulate at the base, 

 bluish-white inside; peristome thickened, narrowly expanded, the 

 margins joined by dull flesh-colored callus. Alt. 82, diam. 32, 

 length of aperture inside 32, width 15 mill. (Pfr.). 



Peru: Moyobamba (Yates, type locality); Tarapoto (Moricand, 

 type locality of latevittata); Tambo Yumbite, near Moyobamba, 1479 

 meters above the sea (Stiibel).

The thick lip is fleshy or brownish ; and the columella either white 

 with a strong fold above (figs. 15, 17), or brown and straight below, 

 white and weakly folded above (fig. 16). The nepionic shell is 

 large, composed of 3J- whorls, sculptured with fine more or less 

 anastomosing longitudinal wrinkles, forming a striolate pattern over 

 part and a pitted pattern over the rest of the surface. In 0. kelletti 

 only 2^ whorls compose the pitted nepionic shell. 



The original description of yatesi is given above, and fig. 17 is a 

 copy of the original figure. It is an extremely variable species, dis- 

 tinguished from the closely allied 0. kelletti by its bolder markings, 

 and the subangular production of the aperture at the base of the
