The unexpanded lip, and short, stout contour readily distinguish 

 this from other species. The umbilicus is more compressed than in 

 D. sinistrorsus and the last whorl much less depressed, and not ex- 

 panded at the aperture. Tlie name theobaldianus was for the Mar- 

 quis Theobald de Puiflferrat, a friend of M. Gassies. There was 

 unfortunately a prior B. theobaldianus of Benson, necessitating a 

 change of the name of the present species. The type of D. Ufuana 

 (figs. 8, 9) is in the collection of the Academy.

Subgenus DOLICHEULOTA Pilsbry, 1901. 



Shell umbilicate, solid, Bulimus shaped, having the sculpture and 

 color-pattern of EuJiadra. Aperture ovate, longer than wide, the 

 peristome reflexcd. Type Bulimus formosensis H. Ad. 



The soft anatomy is unknown, but I venture to predict that it will 

 be found to agree essentially with Euhadra. Those who give generic 

 rank to the numerous groups I have subordinated to EnJota. will
