FEBUSSACIA, SECTION PEGEA. 243 



Group of F. procerula. 



Whorls quite convex, the suture pronounced; aperture 

 toothless, but having a small parietal lamella deeply im- 

 mersed, columella short, straight delicate, acuminate below, 

 the other margin thin; increase of whorls regular (excepting 

 F. procerula) , a little accelerated at the penult, whorl. 



26. F. PROCERULA (Morelet). PL 43, fig. 1. 



Shell fusiform-elongate, rather solid, very lightly striatu- 

 late, glossy fulvous; spire long-conic, apex a little obtuse. 

 Whorls 6 to 7, subplanulate, separated by a linear, submar- 

 gined suture, the upper slowly, the last two rapidly increas- 

 ing, the last whorl hardly as long as the spire, somewhat 

 tapering basally. Aperture subvertical, edentulous, irregu- 

 larly ovate, acuminate at both ends; peristome obtuse, the 

 outer margin a little arcuate, produced in the middle, very 

 lightly thickened outwardly. Length 12.5, diam. 4, aperture 

 5 mm. (Kobelt.)

Though without a parietal lamella, this species clearly 

 belongs to the subgenus Pegea. 



27. F. LITTORALIS Bourguignat. 



Shell elongate, glossy, subpellucid, pale corneous, polished ; 

 spire long, rather regularly tapering, apex obtuse; whorls 7, 

 convex, regularly increasing, parted by a relatively deep 

 suture; the last whorl more than a third the total length, 

 convex. Aperture suboblique, oblong-piriform, acutely an- 

 gular above, having a very minute lamella deep in the mouth, 

 visible in oblique view; columella relatively short, moderate, 

 acuminate, lightly curved, within denticulate above ; peristome
