Eulima Decipiens, sp. nov.
(Fig. 4).
Shell small, straight, rather broad, translucent, glossy. Colour porcelainous white. Apex mucronate. Whorls eleven, scarcely rounded, sculpture none. Suture scarcely perceptible; what first appears to be the suture, proves with further magnification to be the internal septa seen through the shell substance. Aperture pyriform, oblique, with a callous arched columella. Length 5, breadth 11/2 mm.
One living specimen from the lagoon.
This species somewhat resembles E. piriformis, Brugnone, than which it is rather narrower.
