Allied to G. Stolickzana Nevill, from Ceylon, but of 

 totally different shape, being more acutely conical, and in 

 this respect exactly (save for the umbilicar perforation) 

 resembling a Cantharidus or Elenchus. The whorls are 

 six, colour dark olive, with occasional white flaming at 

 the sutures. The peripherial angle of the last whorl is 

 acute, the whole shell is closely sulcate-linear, these lines 

 being most regular. The square mouth is intensely 

 green, iridescent within.
