These specimens are rather more coarsely sculptured than the 

 type, and some have the stripes more zigzag than as represented in 

 the cited figure. On the contrary, other specimens are uniformly 

 greenish yellow without any striping at all.

 Hob. Zomba. 



A smaller species than A. johnstoni, with a less tapering and 

 shorter spire, narrower whorls, and rather finer granulation. 

 The colour varies from uniform greenish yellow to rich brown, 

 but some specimens, chiefly of the latter variety, exhibit reddish 

 striping upon the spire. This kind of ornamentation, however, does 

 not appear to extend to the last volution.
