Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal de Conchyliologie, 1889, Vol. 37
Plus globuleuse que la pr'c'dente, celle-ci est aussi plus solide; elle manque, d'ailleurs, de perforation ombilicale. La spire se d'veloppe progressivement et se termine par une ouverture arrondie, oblique, a bords minces et droits. Celui qui r'pond a la columelle montre, a son point d'in sertion, une l'gere dilatation triangulaire. Le test est sans 'clat; jaunissant sur les premiers tours de la Spire, il passe au rouge obscur sur les deux derniers. Ceux - ci sont grav's de sillons grossiers (relativement aux dimensions de la coquille), sinueux et assez r'guliers. Cette espece se rapproche de i'h. Uitemzagensz's, Krauss, mais elle en dif 7 fere par diverses particularit's et, notamment, par l'absence de perforation ombilicale.
