 concava ; anfract. 6, primi 3 pallidi, convexiusculi, cseteri convexi ; apertura 

 alba, recedens ; peri.st. aliquanto dilatatum, intus limbatuni dilute roseo-fusco 

 tinctum ; plica columellaris valida, palide rosea. Long. 19, diam. 13 mill. 



Var. Te.sta griseo-alba vix strigata ; anfract. ult. ad peripheriam ba-

Shell sinistral, globosely conical, shining, striated with lines 

 of growth (not spiral), grayi.sh white, irregularly striped and
