Shell external, with the perforation open or closed, globose, shining; spire short; whorls 4-5, the last large, deflexed at the aperture; colu- mella dilated at the base; aperture contracted, subvertical, roundly lunate; peristome simple, obtuse, labiate within, its margins distant. A West Indian genus; one species has been introduced into the Florida Subregion. • In Ann. Lye. iST. H. of IS". Y., X, 341, I have, in connection with my friend Mr. Bland, shown the necessity of using this name in preference to Folymita. I will here simply repeat that the type of the latter genus is muscarum, Lea, from which the other species formerly associ- ated with it differ generically in dentition. They will therefore be known bj" the first published name, Hemitrochus. The jaw is strongly arched, with acuminated ends, smooth anterior Fig. 387. surface, and decided median prominence to cutting margin. Fig. 387 represents the jaw of rarians. The other West Indian species examined by me have the same type of jaw, excepting H. 31illeri, which has one short median rib. The lingual membrane (Terr. Moll., V, Plate IV, Fig. L) has about 32-1-32 teeth ; another specimen gave 43-1-43 teeth, with 17 pe
