Hab.—Bay of Islands (J. C. Anderson).
Remarks.—This species is evidently also near O. hyphala, Wats., but it is shorter, with the same number of whorls, and slightly more slender; the whorls are angled above the suture, the last whorl is slightly angled at the periphery; the suture is channelled and the whorls not projecting below it.
