Diagnosis.
Shell large, flat, olive green, glossy, last whorl practically without hair scars, or widely-spaced hair scars near the parietal callus, aperture oval.

Description.
Shell relatively large, rather thin-walled; depressed, dorsal side usually entirely flat, rarely very slightly elevated; colour greenish-olive to greenish-yellowish with an obscure, reddish band just above the blunt keel (rarely missing); protoconch consists of 1.75 whorls, with very fine radial ribs and regularly arranged hair scars (pits); entire shell with 4 whorls; separated by a moderately deep suture; teleoconch overall glossy, with irregular, fine growth lines, dorsal side of first 2.0-2.5 whorls covered by widely-spaced hair scars (= pits), and short hairs near suture; ventral side of body whorl without hair scars or widely spaced (in some specimens somewhat denser than in others) pits near the parietal callus only; aperture oval/subrectangular; peristome strongly expanded and slightly reflected in direction of umbilicus; palatal part with very thin, whitish, semi-transparent layer, showing hair scars on penultimate whorl; umbilicus open, relatively wide, funnel-shaped, peri-umbilical keel only very slightly indicated.

Measurements.
D = 21.4-24.4 mm, H = 9.2-10.3 mm (n = 4).
Differential diagnosis.
Bouchetcamaena subdelibrata
sp. nov. differs from
B. delibrata
mainly in the presence of hair scars on the entirety of the last whorl. For further differences, see under that species.
Distribution.
This species is apparently widespread in the southwestern Himalaya (Khasi Hills, Manipur, Silhet).
