This species is somewhat related to specimens of L. petila 

 Gul., or at least to specimens which are referable to this 

 species. L. octogyrata is slightly more solid, more finely and 

 closely costate, the spire is more regularly turrited and the 

 whorls are flatter and more closely coiled. The embryonic 

 whorls are pale ; in two of the three specimens which I have 

 examined they appear to be perfectly smooth; in the third 

 specimen there is an indication of minute strise. Unfortunately 

 I have not been able to examine any young specimens of this 

 species; the striae of the embryonic whorls are deciduous. 

 Figured from a cotype.
