Shell rimately perforated, depressed, orbicular, rather solid, of a pale horn- 

 color, sometimes with a revolving rufous band, with crowded rib-stria; above, 

 smooth, or faintly striated, and shining beneath ; spire nearly flat, of 5 whorls 

 separated by a well-marked suture, the outer one obtusely angular at periphery, 

 nearly at the plane of the spire, and somewhat deflected near the aperture ; 

 beneath convexly rounded, with a somewhat distorted appearance in conse- 

 quence of the whorl becoming narrower, rather than broader, towards the aper- 

 ture, leaving a minute umbilical perforation ; aperture very oblique, narrow 

 lunate, the peristome forming about two thirds of a circle, reflected, white, with 

 a constriction behind it, and armed with two denticles at its inner margin, one 

 near the centre, the other at the middle of the basal portion ; the extremities 

 of the peristome connected by a callus across the columella, of an acutely angu- 

 lar form, pointing to the middle of the portion of the peristome above the 

 upper denticle, the lower ramus of the angle being longest and largest, and a 

 little concave inwardly. Greater diameter 10, lesser 8| mill.; height, 5 mill.
