In typical Neverita the umbilicus is completely filled by funicle and 
callus, but although there is a small umbilical opening in this shell the great 
obliquity of the outer lip and the general appearance indicate close relation- 
ship to this subgenus. This is the only specimen of Neverita seen in the 
New Zealand material examined.
