Identification. The present specimens present a set of conchological characters not seen, to our knowledge, in any other Brazilian or Peruvian Happia spp. , namely: whorls growing rapidly in size and coiled closely packed together; a tall round body whorl; a large elliptical aperture, positioned diagonally in relation to the columellar axis of shell. A few species ( Simone 2006) present each of those characters at a time, but not all at once. Given that conchological characters are typically insuffi- cient for classification of Happia and related genera, we prefer to leave the identification of the present specimens open until molecular-grade material is available and the genus is revised.
