Material examined
Chañaral de Aceituno (29°01'35"S, 71°26'20"W), Commune of Freirina, February 2008, RCG (unnumbered), 33 specimens. MZUC 39615.
Diagnosis
This species has ovate-oblong, shells (up to 39 mm), with a thin, brownish periostracum and a slightly flattened apex. They are easily distinguished by their solid and thick whitish shell and their thickened, lamellate outer lip. On magnification the surface of the shell has a rugose appearance, especially in the subsutural area, due to very fine spiral threads crossed by thin axial lines (Fig. 2.8).
Distribution and remarks
Questa de Arenas, Huasco (28°20'S, 71°15'W) and Coquimbo (29°57'S, 71°20'W) (Stuardo and Vega 1985[4]). The specimens studied here constitute the northernmost record for the species.
