EUROPEAN SPECIES OF VERTIGO. 207 



will be noted that the description of V. martini, such as it is, 

 agrees with that of V. co-ncinna levenensis. Its distinctness 

 from V. genesii remains to be established, if it is not identical. 



78&. Vertigo genesii parcedentata (Al. Br., Sbgr.). PL 18, 

 figs. 15, 19. 



The small, narrowly ovate shell has a narrow umbilical 

 crevice and blunt summit; consists of 4% to 5 convex whorls 

 separated by a deeply impressed suture, the last whorl form- 

 ing half of the total length. First whorl entirely smooth, the 

 rest having rather oblique striae, of which there are several 

 finer between two stronger striae. The aperture is semi- 

 ovate, obliquely truncate above, with weakly reflected mar- 

 gins which are connected by a very thin callus; the right 

 margin being weakly arched forward. It has either one to 

 four teeth [one or two; see below] or is wholly toothless. 

 Length 1.8 to 2.2, diam. 1 mm. (Sandberger) . 



Germany: Pleistocene and Alluvium of the Rhine valley, 

 etc.
