No species closely allied to this remarkable form is known to 

 me. (Mild/.') 

 C. TENUITESTA Mollendorff. PI. 50, figs. 16, 17. 



Shell moderately, nearly covered umbilicate, subglobose, buft- 

 horu colored ; transversely lightly plicate-striatulate, having very 

 short, crowded hairs standing in regular series, 12-15 in one square 

 millim. Spire conoid, apex flat. Whorls 4J, convex, at the suture 

 rather deeply flattened, the last whorl inflated, a little descending in 

 front, obtusely angulated around the umbilicus. Aperture rather 

 oblique, excised-subcircular ; the peristome thin, little expanded, 

 the upper margin subangular at the upper insertion, then somewhat 

 straightened ; lower margin well arched, the columella strongly 

 dilated. 



Alt. 10, diam. 15 mill. ; aperture breadth 9, length 8, alt. 7 mill.

Tenimber Is* 



Chloritis tenuitesta MLLDFF., N. D. M. G. 1892, p. 96, t. 1, f. 8. 



Has much the aspect of an Eulota, but the regularly arranged 

 hairs show it to be a Chloritis, not far removed from the preceding 

 species. It differs from that in having a half whorl more, in being 

 thinner, the hairs stand less closely and are much shorter'; the per- 

 istome is thin, hardly expanded, and near the upper insertion the lip 

 is visibly angled.
