Overview

Excerpt from American Journal of Conchology, Vol. 4 Shell oval or oblong, generally of a dark brown or chocolate color, with a more or less long and narrow aperture, the lip of which is generally toothed within, not umbilicate; not operou late. Animal amphibious; furnished with two tentacula, with eyes at their bases. Remarks. Although air-breathers, these animals require a large amount of moisture, and are generally found on the sea shore, in places covered by high tides. Both in the character of the animal and in that of the shell, they much resemble the fresh water pulmonifera, which they seem to. Connect with the strictly terrestrial species.
