Shell siniscral, perforated, conoid-globulose, rather solid, straw- 

 colored or tawny-yellowish, with two brown bands ; perforation 

 sometimes brown ; shining. Spire moderately raised, convex-conic, 

 the apex rather acute. Whorls 6, very slowly increasing, rather 

 convex, separated by an impressed suture, subregularly obliquely 

 striated, and decussated by irregular,' indistinct, impressed spiral 

 lines; the last whorl subcylindrical, slightly enlarged at the aper- 

 ture, not descending, a little more than one-half the altitude of the 

 shell. Aperture diagonal, transversely elliptical, slightly lunate ; 

 peristome expanded, a little reflexed ; throat whitish with two black 

 bauds ; margins of peristome white-lipped, widely separated, joined 

 by a very thin sigmoid callus, the upper and left margins regularly 

 curved, basal elongated, straightened somewhat, columella shortly

 two distinct bands and one obsolete upper band, and the perforation
