Description

Seven lenticular, terrestrial snail shells. The shells are tan in color where the periostracum remains. The areas where the periostracum has flaked off are lighter in coloration. There are approximately four whorls on each shell. The ornamentation consists of growth lines and deep striations on each whorl which appear much darker as the periostracum remains in the grooves. The shells are dextral, with ""D"" shaped apertures.
