This species was collected by Dr. Griiffe on Kanathia Island. It is an imperforated, elongate-conical species of a pale horn-colour. It differs from the two preceding species in having small denticles in the palate. I do not know the species, which should be compared with P. perplexa, Garr., and P. nitida, Pse. 4.

This species is common to all the Polynesian groups, and is generally diffused through the Viti Islands. Its minute size, ovate-oblong shape, hyaline texture, obtuse spire, rounded aperture, and the thin slightly expanded lip will readily distinguish it. There are usually 5 denticles in the aperture. |
