H. LEONARDI Tapparone Canefri. Unfigured. 



Ovate-conoid, perforate, rather solid, pale yellowish-green or red- 

 dish, sometimes subfasciate on the base; spire conical, apex subacute. 

 Whorls 5, convex, separated by rather deep sutures, decussated by 

 spiral and longitudinal subgranose strise ; last whorl large, rather 

 tumid, subcontabulate above, subangular below, the base convex. 

 Aperture very oblique, ovate-lunate ; fauces citrinous or brownish- 

 red ; peristome white-edged, broadly retiexed, margins joined by a 

 thin callus, the upper and outer regularly curved, basal nearly
