Type locality.

"Yamne Valley, Abor Hills".

Material examined.

Yamney valley, Abor Hills, NHMUK 1903.7.1.3114 (3 shells, one of them separated with pink wool).

Remarks.

Protoconch elevated, spirally striated; R1 rather regularly ribbed and some spiral striation visible; R2 extremely long, with widely spaced, sharp ribs.

This species was spelled both " yamnayensis " and " yamneyensis " in the original description. The former is considered an incorrect original spelling, because the name is derived from the Yamne Valley.
