 Closely resembles F. lamellifera, but lacks a parietal lamella. 



Group of F. carnea. 



Shell comparatively opaque, with a strong parietal lamella, 

 outer lip thick, with a strong callus ; the spiral increase quite 

 regular (except in F. lamellifera) . It is especially a Tunisian 

 group, but one species occurs in Italy, where Bourguignat 

 believes it to have been introduced. 



35. F. CARNEA (Risso). PI. 43, figs. 4 to 8. 



Shell cylindric-turrite, rather solid, little shining, opaque, 

 smooth or very lightly, irregularly striatulate, buff or rufous- 

 corneous. Spire shortly conic, gradually tapering. Whorls 

 7, flattened, parted by a distinct, margined, duplicated suture \ 

 the upper whorls are flat and increase very slowly; the ante- 

 penult, whorl is much more convex, the last two larger, separ- 

 ated by a very oblique suture. The last whorl does not des- 

 cend, is rounded below, and about half the total length ; behind 

 the mouth it is broadly bordered with yellow. Aperture 

 nearly vertical, ovate, acute above, two-fifths the total length. 

 Deep on the parietal wall a compressed entering parietal la- 

 mella stands. Peristome unexpanded, the margins joined by 

 a distinct callus; outer lip thickened with a thin whitish 

 callus; more or less produced forward in the middle. Colu- 

 mella short, vertical, twisted, more or less bidentate. In 

 oblique view the upper denticle frequently appears as a more 

 or less pronounced horizontal fold, the lower as a truncation. 

 Length 12 to 15 diam. 4 to 5 mm. (Kobelt). 



Northern Tunis and in the prov. of Constantine, Algeria, 

 common and generally distributed. Introduced in the islands 

 Pianosa and probably Alicuri, and formerly at Nice.
