This form has much the contour of S. santacruzii, but the early 

 whorls are more swollen and the texture and coloration as in S. 

 oblongus. It was described first as a variety of S. oblongus, but I 

 agree with Dr. von Ihering that it is entitled to specific rank. The 

 type, no. 71229 coll. A. N. S., is figured.

Shell ovate, decidedly compressed dorso-ventrally, moderately solid, 

 the spire short, obtuse. Shell substance dull pink, with a pale band 

 below the sutures ; cuticle mainly retained on the later two whorls, 

 yellow below the sutures and back of the outer lip, elsewhere yellowish- 

 chestnut, with rather numerous, narrow, obliquely longitudinal chestnut 

 streaks. Surface moderately shining, irregularly, strongly wrinkle- 

 costulate, as in S. oblongus; showing under the lens a microscopic 

 granulation (similar to that of the spire of S. oblongus), which is 

 largely or entirely lost on the last half whorl. Nepionic whorls 

 finely costulate, as in S. oblongus. Whorls 5, the earlier five regu- 

 larly and moderately widening, with slightly oblique, sutures, the last 

 half whorl (in a dorsal view) rapidly descending, its suture extremely 

 oblique. Aperture somewhat oblique, whitish inside ; peristome well 

 expanded, brilliant rose-colored ; columella with a moderate fold. 

 Length 92, diam. maj. 55, min. 47 mill. ; length of aperture 62 mill. 

 Brazil : Paranagua, coast of Prov. Parana.

With the sculpture of S. oblongus, this species unites the contour 

 of S. ovatus. It differs from oblongus in the streaked cuticle, dorso- 

 ventral compression, short spire, and very oblique last suture. It is 

 more obese than S. granulosus Rang, with less pronounced granula- 

 tion, coarse surface costulation, and closer apical riblets.

The locality of this species has hitherto been unknown. It occurs 

 subfossil at Montevideo, Uruguay, whence specimens have been sent
