«This subspecies differs in being more inflated and usually much larger, averaging 50 -75 mm. in altitude. The striae seem to appear at a slightly younger stage. The interspaces are somewhat narrower and the ribs are a little more prominent and less rounded on top. The subspecies falconensis differs in having slightly narrower, more v-shaped interspaces and in having striae of about equal strength both on the ribs and in the interspaces. In the subspecies falconensis, there is a sulcus down the middle of the interspaces, which corresponds to a primary radial thread in the species, sensu stricto, and in the subspecies maracaibensis. There are all intergradations between this subspecies and the species, sensu stricto, as well as between the two subspecies.
