Conspicuous, and more oi- less .-paced. The color of (lie third whorl 

 is formed of two /ones of about tin- same width ; the anterior one yel- 

 lowish with brown spots behind, the posterior One white with quite 



large, -paced cliesnut-brown spots; on the following two whorls (here 

 are \\aved lines of light chestnut on a yellowish ground, and occa- 

 sional very irregular long spots of deep brown. The last whorl, 

 which is a little ventricose, is of a dead-leaf color, ornamented with 

 four revolving /ones of very pale green, the anterior three wide and 

 cloM-r together than to the narrower posterior /.one. 



The locality in Ecuador of the original specimen was not known, 

 but Dr. Wolf collected two specimens at the locality given above. 

 One of them is very similar to the type in coloration, but (he other, 

 agreeing with the type in form and si/e, (he coloration of the aper- 

 ture, lips and colnmella, has tour alternating narrow and broad bands 

 composed of spots shaped like long, pointed scales. This is more 

 like <>. frtiKi-ri, and is considered by Ilerr Keibisch to be a more 

 normal coloration than that of the type.
