Species of the Waianae range. 



In the systematic classification these species are about 

 equally related to the series of A. papyracea and to that of 

 A. livida. All of them are extremely rare shells, each species 

 known from a single small colony only, and by this we mean 

 a single clump of bananas or the like. A. lehuiensis and its var- 

 iety gulickiana have been found but once, and that over fifty 

 years ago, a single individual of each. A. thaanumi is known
