Distinct by its small aperture and narrow whorls. I have 

 not seen specimens.

"Adult shell cylindric-turrete, with close-set very fine 

 striag, which are more oblique in the upper half, more vertical 

 in the lower half of the visible part of each whorl, glossy, 

 greenish-brown, white at the suture. Remaining whorls 6^-8 ; 

 on the upper whorls the striae are comparatively stronger (so 

 much elevated that the sculpture might be termed costulate), 

 a little rough, and more equally oblique, being more vertical 

 just above the suture only. The upper whorls are also dis- 

 tinctly more convex than the lower ones. Aperture very little 

 produced beyond the suture, nearly circular, but rectilinear 

 above, where it is nearest the preceding whorl, and making 

 here a very obtuse angle with the strongly arcuated outer mar- 

 gin ; peristome continuous, as usual in this genus, very shortly 

 expanded, obtuse, white; columellar margin also well arcu- 

 ated, but behind it, in the depth of the aperture, is a distinct 

 white fold, rising up very steeply, without angle. Young 

 specimens (figs. 32, 33) are somewhat concavely turrete, and 

 resemble the figure 8c in Philippi 's Abbildungen ; they indicate 

 that the whole number of whorls is .at least 14 or more, but 

 even in these the tip is truncated and the hole filled up by a 

 convex whitish wall. The dimensions of the adult specimens 

 (with continuous, expanded, and slightly produced peristome) 

 are some what different, as shown by the following measure- 

 ments : 



Largest (8 whorls) 35 mm. long., diam. 9%; aperture 7% 

 long (high), 7 broad. 



Smallest (iy 2 whorls) 24% mm. long., diam. 8; aperture 

 6 long, 6 broad.
