“ An apparently new genus of Cyclophoracea, looking somewhat like a slender Cochlostoma of the subgenus Turritus. The only known species, which thus automatically becomes the type species, will be described below under the name of Malarinia hova. ”

“ A depressed, slightly angulated shell with a low spire, the surface almost densely ribbed by regular growth lines, the umbilical region with a perforate umbilicus, the aperture lipped, with a concave lamella and two tubercular teeth, the parietal wall bearing a low, thin lamella with a short, V-shaped hook. ”

“ Solem, the species hertleini differs from the matermontana group by being larger (13.2 mm. against 9.5-12 mm.) , being always shouldered at the periphery, showing stronger ribs, having a wider umbilicus (one-third of diameter against one-fifth) , having 63⁄4 whorls against 53⁄4, and almost entirely lacking the inner branch of the V-shaped lamella on the parietal wall. ”
