Reeve's B. spixii, cited here by Pfeiffer, is a very doubtful 

 synonym. If the original of his figure is normal, it indicates a new 

 species. From present information, it appears that Nyst was the 

 first to change the preoccupied name originally proposed by 

 Philippi. The strong, spaced folds of the earlier whorls are char- 

 acteristic. 



Var. unicolor Phil. Form normal, but without trace of the 

 bands. 



Hacienda of Huaribamba, east of Huancayo, Peru.

 ened, the right margin slightly expanded, columellar margin much 

 dilated above, vaultingly reflexed. Alt. 35, diam. 13 ; aperture alt. 

 16, width 8 mill. (P/K).
