"This species passes into A. colorata Reeve, which is also 

 found in Ahuimanu. It differs from A. colorata in the same 

 manner and proportion as A. adust a Reeve differs from 

 A. producta Reeve. About one-third of the specimens are 

 dextral' (Gulick).

Achatinella tricolor SMITH, P. Z. S. 1873, p. 76, pi. 9, f. 6. 



In form and color it is intermediate between A. colorata 

 Rv. and A. varia Gk. (Smith). 



A. c. tricolor is very closely related to colorata, which occurs 

 westward, on the other side of the Heeia ridge. As in colorata, 

 there is always a narrow brown sutural band or line. Typi- 

 cally the ground-color is white or nearly so above the peri- 

 phery, citron-green or light yellowish olive below it, with a 

 broad cuticular band of hazel or cinnamon-brown above the 

 periphery, which is marked with a line of the whitish ground,
