BANKOVICS (HNHM 93860 and HNHM 93861/1).

Description - Shell depressed behind; spire moderately raised, broadly rounded; creamy white and glossy; umbilicus rather narrow, very deep, the whorls being visible to top, about 2 mm wide. Whorls 6, moderately convex, the last smoothly rounded with no trace of peripheral angulation; suture moderate. First 3 whorls + smooth then next ribbed just below the suture until the last 1/3 of a whorl before the body whorl which has ± complete ribs; body whorl with strong curved ribs, 3^1 per mm which extend almost to the periphery but base of shell + smooth; varices due to growth stages are fairly marked particularly beneath and within umbilicus. Aperture %-circular. oblique set at 30° to vertical; peristome strongly reflected, strongly retracted at junction with body whorl to form a disFig. 6.
