Shell umbilicate, trochiform, rather solid, obliquely distinctly 

 striated, decussated with close, very fine spiral stride, satiny, buffish- 

 hyaline ; spire convex-conic, rather obtuse. Whorls 6, a little con- 

 vex, slowly increasing, having an exserted cord-like carina; the 

 last whorl slightly deflexed in front, more convex below the median 

 carina, a little turgid in front, subcanaliculate toward the narrow 

 umbilicus. Aperture very oblique, subtriangular-lunar ; peristome 

 white, shining, the margins remote ; right margin expanded a little, 

 columellar margin substraightened, outwardly reflexed, subdentate 

 within, dilated in a vaulting, vitreous plate at the insertion.

The locality should be confirmed. This shell has much the aspect 

 of If. (Satsuma) japonica, judging from the figures.

Imperforate, turbinate-trochiform, rather thin, subpellucid, longitu- 

 dinally minutely striatulate ; dull yellowish-white ; spire subconic, 

 apex pale violaceous, suture impressed ; whorls 5, a little convex, the 

 last slightly descending, ventricose, longer than the spire, obtusely 

 connected below the middle, having a pale violaceous zone below the 

 carina, but little conspicuous. Base moderately convex, spirally 

 very delicately decussated. Aperture oblique, lunate-subquadrate ; 

 peristome milk-white, margins distant, columellar margin dilated, 

 basal and outer margins narrowly reflexed.
