This species is related to P. porcellana wailuaensis and per- 

 haps to A. germana, of which it is thought by Dr. Cooke to be 

 a small race. " It is remarkable for the constancy of its deli- 

 cate color lines; over 200 examples before me show only 

 trifling divergence in this respect : (Baldw.). In one speci- 

 men of the lot sent by Mr. Baldwin, the lower yellow band is 

 reduced to a line. In some others the ground-color is pale 

 fleshy-brown above the periphery. There is some variation 

 in shape, as shown in the figures. It was named for the late

" Closely resembles the A. solitaria, and but for the widely- 

 distant localities might -be taken for varieties of the same 

 species. The markings and columellaB are however quite dis- 

 tinct ' (Newc.). 



Known to us by the original account only. I can only 

 suggest its probable relationship to P. anceyana and P. wail- 

 uaensis, both of which differ in being of a more oblong shape 

 and smaller size, P. germana measuring length 20, diam. 10 

 mm. according to Newcomb.
