This would seem variable both in form and marking. One 
specimen shows a leaning to JZ. pauctmaculata Angas, another 
is almost marked as WV. theskela M. & S. It is, however, far 
removed from this latter species. Rude in contour, five 
whorled, obliquely angled, coarsely ribbed longitudinally, 
and closely but indistinctly lirate transversely. In shape, 
elongate fusiform, mouth oblong. Sinus ample and deep, outer 
lip much incrassate, both it and the columella are many 
denticled, outer lip but not the columella tinged with fulvous. 
A few specimens of somewhat varying shape and size. (OdXepos 
blooming, genial).
