lengthened, obliquely truncate fold on the parietal wall ; one 

 on the columella ; a third small basal one ; fourth tooth dis-

 truncate, etc." (Doering).

P.[upa] microdonta DOERING, Apuntes sobre la fauna de 

 moluscos de la Republica Argentina, pt. 4, .in Bole tin de la 

 Academia Nacional de Ciencias de la Rep. Argentina, iii, 

 1879, p. 82. Nachrichtsblatt d. deutschen Malak. Ges., 1880, 

 p. 84.

 vilis, but of smaller size, close to G. pellucida.
