, comprising ±1.0 whorl, but junction with teleoconch usually not clear; for the most part smooth and glossy, but developing collabral growth-lines toward junction with teleoconch. Teleoconch relatively strongly sculptured with distinct, evenly spaced, axial pliculae that continue around periphery, onto base and into umbilicus. Aperture roundly ovate; peristome interrupted by bulging parietal region; outer lip thin with membranous periostracal fringe where undamaged, its adapical edge strongly convex in profile; base and umbilical margin evenly rounded; umbilicus relatively narrow and steep-sided, patent to apex; columella lip not reflected.

Genital pore ventral to pneumostome; right optic tentacle retractor passing to left of penis. Penis relatively short and stout (length ±2.0 mm), broadest in mid region; its wall not conspicuously muscular, lumen lined with relatively coarse papillae; epiphallus pore simple, subapical. Penial retractor muscle attached at apex of penis; epiphallus present, one-third to half length of penis; adherent to side of penis and inserting subapically; vas deferens continues to penis base before running alongside free oviduct to join spermoviduct. Genital atrium simple and vagina almost non-existent, the free oviduct and bursa copulatrix duct seeming to arise directly from atrium, as does the penis. Atrial wall with indistinct longitudinal folds, becoming stronger near base of free oviduct and bursa copulatrix duct. Bursa copulatrix and its duct about one-quarter to onethird length of spermoviduct; basal portion of duct broader, lined internally with longitudinal folds originating in atrium; duct narrowing in mid region before bursa; bursa itself ovate, thin-walled and approx. half length of its duct. Genital atrium also with a relatively large, globose, lateral diverticulum, similar to but larger than that adjacent to base of bursa duct in
