Shell depressed, umbilicate, helicoid or aln.iost stomatia-shaped, 

 the last whorl and aperture very large, reddish-brown, marked with 

 white on the spiral ribs; spire very short, small ; whorls nearly 4, 

 convex, the inner 1 J smooth, the rest with strong, separated spiral 

 lir3, the interstices wider than the lira?, rendered pitted by raised, 

 regular rib-stria) each interliral interval with a central spiral thread. 

 There are 3 principal lira) on the penultimate whorl, the outer lip 

 inserted on the fourth ; on the base there are 8 concentric lirse, 

 alternately larger and smaller, the inner one bounding the umbilicus

The edentulous aperture, large body-whorl, small, low spire and 

 latticed sculpture separate this from all species except those im- 

 mediately following. The shell is very aberrant for an Eachehis.
