 base ; umbilicus moderate and pervious ; aperture rotundately-lunar ;

The above description was drawn from immature examples. 

 Adults, it is stated, are extremely like Jervisensis, measuring, alt. 

 13, greater diam. 22, lesser 18 mill. The right margin of the 

 peristome is somewhat expanded ; the columella of a violet tint, and 

 reflected over the umbilicus. It differs from Jervisensis in being 

 more solid, the whorls more gradually increasing, the last one less 

 inflated.

 streak; whorls 5, slowly increasing, slightly convex, last roundly 

 convex ; aperture lunately-rounded ; peristome straight, thin, mar-

A thin, horny, semitransparent shell, like a starved miniature of 

 H. grayi and to be placed next to H. aridorum, a much more 

 globose shell with a deeply impressed suture. The reddish streak 

 along the suture is not always present. (Cox.)
