This species is remarkable for its short squarish form, the irregu- 

 lar malleation, the reflected columella, and flattened vertex. Here 

 and there are longitudinal depressions, giving the shell a some- 

 what wrinkled appearance ($.).

 opaque, milky, and transversely distantly striated, smooth in the 

 middle, striated with growth-lines. Vertex deeply depressed, sub- 

 perforate in the middle ; aperture narrow, slightly produced above 

 the vertex, the base somewhat wider ; columella simple, slightly re- 

 flexed. Alt. 14, diam. 7 mill. (5.).

 slightly perforated. The superior striae are about seven in number, 

 the inferior about twice as many ($.).
