Archiv fur Naturgeschichte, 51:276; PI. 18, figs. 2, 10. 
Testa ovato-fusiformis, carnea, anfractibus 5-6 planulatis juxta 
suturam obtuse angulato-carinatis; apertura ovali, dimidiam testae Iongi- 
tudinem aequante. Superficies cingulis spiralibus planis et plicis longi- 
tudinalibus obliquis paulo magis conspicuis in earina nodulosis, basin versus 
evanidis, regulariter decussata; pars infra carinam lineis spiralibus magis 
confertis obducta, plicis longitudinalibus ibi obsoletis. Long., 11; lat., 
5.4 mm. (Krause.) 
Shell ovate-fusiform, flesh-colored, with 5-6 whorls flattened to the 
suture and obtusely angulate-carinate; with oval aperture half the length 
of the shell. Surface with flattened spiral zones and longitudinal oblique 
plications a little more distinct, nodulous on the earina, disappearing 
toward the base, regularly decussate; that part below the earina covered 
with less crowded spiral lines, with the longitudinal plications obsolete 
there. (Translation.)

Boston Journal of Natural History , 2:104; PI. 1, fig. 11. 
Shell fusiform, turreted, color an uniform dark brown; whorls, six, 
convex, having numerous slightly elevated, revolving ribs, with intervening 
striae upon the lowest, and impressed in their middle portion by a deep 
sulcus, which forms a distinct revolving carination upon each side of it; 
sutures clearly defined; body-whorl half the entire length of the shell; 
striae of growth, minute; outer lip thin, sub-arcuated, serrated on its 
margin by the terminating striae; the sinus at its juncture angular, very 
slight, and hardly amounting to a fissure; columella arcuated at its superior 
third; aperture elliptical, terminated by a short canal slightly inclining to 
the left. Long., 11/40; diameter of last whorl, 2/40 in. (Couthouy.) 
Type in Cabinet of Boston Society of Natural History. Type locality,
