"The palatal fold is less deeply placed in the mouth and 

 weaker in P. strobeli. 



' ' In the width of the perforation P. daustralis agrees with 

 P. lardea better than strobeli, but in claustralis the columel- 

 lar and palatal folds are deeper in the mouth, especially the 

 latter. 



"P. salonensis [salurensis] Reinh. is at once separable by 

 its finer longitudinal striation" (Jickeli).

The minute shell is narrowly perforate, cylindric, a little 

 contracted towards the base, brown^ with an oily luster, orna- 

 mented with moderately strong, close, oblique longitudinal 

 ribs. The 6 convex whorls increase regularly and are parted 

 by a rather deep suture ; last whorl is somewhat compressed 

 towards the base and rises a little in front. The aperture is 

 hardly oblique, ovate, a little impressed on the right side, 

 and three- folded : on the parietal wall, deep within, a denticle 

 stands which is continued inward as a rather low fold. The 

 slightly curved columella has a tubercular tooth, visible only 

 by turning the shell; likewise the palatal tooth is only seen 

 by turning the aperture. The peristome is white, thickened 

 and slightly reflected, the terminations converging. 



Length 1%, diam. 1, alt. apert. %, width % mm. (Jickeli).

"P. schilleri differs from the preceding species by the more 

 contracted base, narrower umbilicus, closer and finer longi- 

 tudinal ribbing, a weaker and more deeply placed parietal 

 lamella ; also the columellar fold stands deeper, and the pala- 

 tal fold, which is visible in P. lardea in a direct front view, 

 can only be seen in P. schilleri in a strongly oblique view in 

 the mouth. 



"It agrees with P. sir obeli in the umbilicus and longitu- 

 dinal striation more than with the preceding species, but 

 differs by the positions of columellar and palatal teeth. 



"From P. salonensis [salurensis] Reinh. it differs by the 

 stronger ribbing" (Jickeli).
