This small species, described and figured from the types, has 

 a peculiar mildewed or mouldy appearance from having the 

 dark markings overlaid with white. It is very closely related 

 to A. dwightii, but differs by its smaller size and details of col- 

 oration. No form of dwightii has a dark band along the suture 

 below. The figure represents the same shell figured by Bald- 

 win.
