This form differs from citrina only in its dark color. The 

 intermediate whorls vary from brown to olive, and there is a 

 local form found near Peace River in which they are gray- 

 white or yellowish (figs. 54, 55). Examples of this pale race 

 measure from 16 x 6 to 19 x 6.2 mm. 



The names splendens, hornbeckii and tricolor were all 

 based upon the same dark variety, though both Pfeiffer and 

 Villa considered the pale shells (citrina) to be specifically 

 the same as the dark ones. 



The original description of Pupa splendens is as follows: 

 Shell subfusiform, rimate, apex truncate, very smooth, glossy, 

 fulvous or green, girdled at the suture with white; whorls 8, 

 flattened, the last not larger than the penult., carinate at the 

 base ; aperture suborbicular, peristome reflexed, roseate, the 

 margins converging, joined by a thin callous, right margin 

 dilated, columellar margin strongly folded within. Length 

 8.5, diam. 3 lines (P/V.). 



In figure 53 there should be some fine striae on the last 

 whorl, as in fig. 64 of the same plate. They were omitted by 

 the lithographer.
