I am in doubt whether this is more than a variety of C. dryas, 

 although the more typical forms, such as are represented in figures 

 23, 24, are readily distinguishable by their small size, abruptly 

 truncated columella, etc. 



C. NIGROCINCTA Semper. PI. 13, fig. 62. 



Perforate, conic-ovate, solid, smooth, shining, white, ornamented 

 with black chestnut bauds. Spire conical, tawny above, the apex 

 obtuse. Whorls 5, nearly flat, the last a little shorter than the 

 spire, carinated in the middle, the keel disappearing anteriorly; 

 base rounded. Aperture subvertic-al, truncate-oval; peristome thin, 

 right margin sinuated above, then rather widely spreading; col- 

 umellar margin straightly ascending, vaultingly reflexed. (Pfr.)
