Description

CYLINDROVERTILLA HEDLEYI The shell resembles P. kingi as above defined except in the following particulars: The surface is much more distinctly striate, and on the last whorl there is more of the minute malleation or confused granulation noted for kingi. The crest behind the lip is more oblique, the broad pit preceding it deeper. The upper palatal fold is longer, more immersed, and there is no trace of a lower palatal fold. There is a rather strong callous rib within the lip. The angular lamella. is thin and but slightly sigmoid in basal view. Length 1.8, diam. 1.07 mm.; 4½ whorls. Australia: Calliungal, in southern Queensland (C. T. Musson). P. kingi Cox, in part, HEDLEY and MUSSON, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. W. (2), vi, 1891, p. 558. This species is larger and more coarsely striate than C. fabreana; the angular lamella penetrates less deeply, and it does not have the basal thickening of the lip-rib character- istic of that species. The color is lighter, more buff than C. kingi, without reddish or orange tint around the mouth; but the specimens are all "dead" though fresh. They are part of the lot catalogued by Hedley and Musson, received from Charles Hedley.
