Operculum multispiral, as in most genera of Trochidse not few- 

 whorled as is the case with Euchelus.

I am in doubt about the systematic position of this group. Nevills 

 compare it to Thalotia. Fischer considers it a section under 

 Euchelus. The original description is as follows : Shell suborbicu- 

 late, subconic; columella solid, anteriorly applanate, transversely 

 plicate and abruptly terminated. 



E. ROSEOLA Ne'vill. PL 57, fig. 15. 



Shell depressed-conical ; whorls 5, rapidly widening, separated by 

 profound sutures, spirally distantly costulate, costulae 3 on penulti- 

 mate whorl, separated, elegantly ornamented with numerous rosy 

 tubercles, the. interstices wide, divided by a central spiral thread, 

 transversely cancellated ; base convex, similarly ornamented ; aper- 

 ture ample, subrotund, pearly, smooth inside in adult specimens, in 

 young ones sulcate ; lip scarcely thickened, crenulate at the margin ; 

 labium thin ; columella thickened anteriorly, subreflexed, with three 

 twisted plicae. Alt. 1H, diam. 11 mill. (NeviU.)
