Distinguished by its fine but strongly developed, thread- 

 like riblets, silk-like luster, descending last whorl and small 

 size. The internal pillar is very slender and straight. The 

 type had evidently lost its cuticle and color, like a specimen 

 before me. The riblets are less crowded than in var. boucardi, 

 and the shell is more slender.

Shell arcuate-rimate, clavate-cylindric, truncate, rather 

 thin, provided with close, somewhat arcuate hair-like riblets, 

 transversely striated in the intervals; corneous-tawny. Su- 

 ture light, slightly marginate. Whorls remaining 9 to 11, 

 slightly convex, the last free in front, obliquely descending, 

 angular above, obtusely carinate below the middle. Aperture 

 angularly oblong, with a strong, twisted columellar fold; 

 peristome white, narrowly expanded. Length 52-56, diam. 13 

 mm.; aperture 11 mm. long, 8% wide (Pfr.).

This form is larger than speciosa or the following varieties, 

 but I agree with Prof, von Martens that it is not worthy of 

 specific rank. The shape varies a good deal, two specimens 

 measuring 



Length 54, greatest diam. 12.3, diam. at apex 7 mm. 9*4 

 whorls. 



Length 53, greatest diam. 13.5, diam. at apex 8.5 mm. 8~y 2 

 whorls.
