«This subspecies differs in having the ribs more sloping and in having the interspaces more v-shaped than in both the species, sensu stricto, and the subspecies maracaibensis; in the latter two, the interspaces are rather flat and terminated by the rather steep flanks of the ribs. This subspecies further differs in the character of the radial striae, which are almost uniform in strength and regularly spaced over the ribs. In the adult stage, there are about 7 of these striae regularly spaces on the sides and top of each rib; in the interspaces, there are 2 or sometimes 3 striae, and, in the middle of the interspace, there is usually a sulcus instead of a radial thread. This subspecies is more inflated than the species, and sometimes is even more inflated than the subspecies maracaibensis, but the latter subspecies is usually larger.
