This genus is evidently closely allied to the so-called Nanina : the only distinction pointed out by H. and A. Adams is that the sole in Stenopus is narrower than the sides of the foot but this does not hold good universally.t A better difference is probably the position of the genital orifice which appears to be in Stenopax some distance behind the head as in Zonites and not just behind the [...] The species is near H. tinostoma but is considerably smaller and the peculiar flattening and compression of the last whorl near the mouth is far less the aperture being in consequence not nearly so broad in proportion to the height. [...] Aperture diagonal triagular with the sides curved with three l►melliform teeth inside all palatal and in the basal margin : the largest is in the middle of the margin and is much curved with its convex side outwards ; it begins by forming a kind of thickening to the lip and then curves away into the interior of the whorl ; the second is smaller oblique and situated near to the columell [...] In the figure in the Conchologia Indian ' the internal tooth is nob shown although all the teeth are clearly seen through the semi-transparent base of the shell. [...] The sculpture is somewhat finer in S. ? diplodon and the basal margin of the aperture is suhangulnrly concave without the curing forwards due to the transverse portion of the larger tooth in S. ingrami.
