Author: Sowerby G B III
Description
Sowerby gave his first description in latin. (click LAT).
He added in English:
Compared with Perrinia elisa (A. Adams), the body-whorl is larger in proportion to the spire, the keel more prominent, and the suture more deeply excavated. The whorls have two rounded nodulous keels, the space between which is smooth excepting for the fine oblique striae. The base is strongly corded and deeply pitted.
