MELANEA truncata. 
TAB. CCXLL— Fig. 4 . 
Spec. Char. Conical, elongated, smooth ; whorles 
angular below; mouth ovate, acute above, 
truncated below. 
A sharp polished spire and angular whorles distinguish 
this Melanea ; the outer lip is a little thickened : the 
truncation of the edge of the lip, close to the columella, 
make it approach in appearance to a Cerithium.
