Aperture auricular, somewhat effuse anteriorly, posterior angle scarcely acute; outer lip very thick, reflexed, pillar with a broad, strong, oblique fold, a little anterior to its insertion; parietal wall covered by a thick callus. The type has six post-nuclear whorls, and measures: Length 9.9 mm., diameter 5 mm. It was collected by Krause at Killisnoo, which is in Alaska, and not in Japan, as stated by Clessin....
