Section Aegista Albers, 1860. 

 Aegista ALB., Die Hel., 1860, p. 121, type H. oculus Pfr. 



Shell depressed and broadly umbilicated, solid, striated ; brown, 

 unicolored or with a light peripheral band; spire low, composed of 

 many narrow whorls, the last not keeled, descending in front. Aper- 

 ture round lunar, oblique, the peristome toothless, narrowly ex- 

 panded, somewhat thickened within, reflexed at base, ends converg- 

 ing. Type E. oculus Pfr., pi. 64, figs. 13, 14, 15. 



External anatomy and genitalia unknown. Jaw arcuate, with 

 about 6 wide, low, but separated ribs (pi. 65, fig. 10, E.platyomphald). 

 Radula showing the same characters described for Plectotropis, but 

 the outer marginals have the ectocone bifid (pi. 65, fig. 9, E. platy- 

 omphala). 



Shells of this section differ from Plectotropis in lacking the peri- 

 pheral keel and in the smoother surface, but there are some inter- 

 mediate species. It has the same geographic range, extending north- 

 ward to Kiusiu Island, Japan. The jaw of the only species examined 

 has fewer ribs than in Plectotropis, but this is not likely to prove a 

 constant difference.
