In general appearance this shell resembles a dextral H. retrorsa, 

 but differs in being more tumid and also in size and sculpture. A 

 single specimen was presented to me by W. S. Atkinson, Esq. who 

 procured it with other known species near Maulmeiu.

Testa depressa, infundibule-forme-umbilicata, lineis transversis 

 rugose striata, lineisque spiralibus obscure leviter decussata obtuse 

 carinata, sordide albida (forsan in meliore specimine cornea) semi- 

 translucente, sutura impressa. Anfract. 5 convexiusculis, Apertura 

 obliqua. Perist. leviter incrassato, non reilexo.
