Close to E. decurtatum, from which it differs in the dark 

 color and the stronger riblets of the later whorls. In other 

 respects the two species are alike. The type specimen has 

 8 whorls and is 32 mm. long; that here figured, one of the 

 type lot, is smaller with scarcely 6% whorls remaining.

Shell rimate, subcylindrical, attenuated towards the trun- 

 cated apex, solid, whitish. Whorls 8, narrow, longitudinally
