This elegant little shell is closely related in form to H. (Stenotrema) 

 sjoinosa, Lea, of Alabama. I have not seen the animal, but from 

 the relation of the shell to Nanina (Sesara) pylaica, Bens., which is, 

 beside several others of the same type, also found about Moulmem, 

 I suspect that it belongs to the sub -genus Sesara.
