Description

Adult specimens of Drymaeus inconspicuus can measure up to 25 mm shell height. [3] The species is characterized by the corneous-brown upper whorls and the suture, which is bordered by a white line, descending slightly in front. [3]

Haas (1949) [1] compared this species to Bulimulus transparens (Reeve, 1849), stating that his material was slightly smaller (17 vs. 19 mm shell height). [3] The type material of Bulimulus transparens is in the Natural History Museum (BMNH 1975397) and is labelled ‘Venezuela’ (Breure, 1978: 147). [3] [4] If this locality is correct, a close relationship as suggested by Haas seems improbable. [3]
