Hah. West Indies — St. Croix, 5 V. {Hedemann); St. Thomas,

 level of its lower side, apex triangular, its three angles somewhat

 is very similar to some of the European species ; the mouth of 

 the case is, however, more distinctly at a right angle to the case 

 itself, and it is someAvhat stouter in proportion to its length.
