Hanley, Conch. Misc. pl. 5, fig. 43, as “ M. hiigelii, var. of Phil. from 
Ehasya.” 
Long. 35, diam, 184 mil. 
Remarkably close to Mel. hiigeli, from which it can be dis- 
tinguished by its less solid substance, its much more convexly 
rounded whorls, the last not being [more or less] subangulate 
as in its ally; of a plain, uniform, dark coloration; of similar 
minute striation, but wanting the spiral sulcations at base of 
last whorl; characters of the columellar margin and aperture 
generally much as in typical M. hiigeli. Strongly decollate, 
three whorls only remaining.
