I have named this species dudia, because it has a somewhat juvenile appearance, as 

 however the speciniens of the three localities vary little in size and shape, it may also be that 

 no larger specimens exist.

As the specimen is smaller and not so broadly shouldered as O. paxilhis Rve., but 

 agrees in these respects with • the species of Duclos, I have left it separate, though it is no 

 doubt nearly allied.

 think this is also the case with the other one, but the aperture is too much filled by the
