I am quite sure that Pfeiffer 's species cannot be referred 

 to L. cingula Migh. L. dimidiata is shorter with a somewhat 

 narrower aperture, and the color patterns are entirely 

 different. 



The most abundant color-variety is not mentioned by 

 Pfeiffer. The shell is whitish-corneous, with a rather broad 

 chestnut band just above the periphery and continued on 

 the spire above the suture. 



Two specimens have the following measurements : 



Length 9.9, diam. 5.5, length of apert. 5.2 mm. 



Length 11.2, diam. 5.8, length of apert. 5.5 mm.
