286 ABIDA. 



transverse bands, crested at the rimation. Aperture rather 

 wide, somewhat oblique, rounded subovate, conspicuously pli- 

 cate, the plicae as in the preceding species, strong. Peristome 

 rather thick, subeffuse, margins approaching, joined by a cal- 

 lous which is not thin. Length 10, diam. 2%-2% mm., aper- 

 ture 2 mm long, l%-2 wide. 



Spain: Besora in prov. Barcelona, alt. about 600 meters 

 (Bofill).

This is the best characterized species, recognizable at first 

 sight by the quite solid spire, very slender, acicular, tapering 

 progressively towards the summit, the penult whorl con- 

 stricted, in this respect resembling P. vergnesiana KUSTER as 

 figured by Bourguignat (Rev. et Mag. de ZooL, 1863, p. 155, 

 pi. 14, f . 20) ; by having the aperture produced, as in certain 

 Cylindrellas, etc. (Bofill).

Shell rimate, subperforate, cylindric, closely and finely cos- 

 tulate-striate, silky, corneous-brown ; spire long, rather obtuse. 

 Whorls 9, convex, narrow, the last compressed basally, free in 

 front. Aperture rounded-oblong, contracted; one angular 

 fold, one deeply placed parietal, two columellar, and three 

 palatal, the lower basal, smaller. Peristome free, continuous, 

 white-lipped, a little expanded. Length 3, diam. % line 

 (Kuester).
