LIMAX. 1 93 



Var. LUCTUOSUS, Moquin-Tandon. Black, with the carina and 

 dorsal zone of yellowish white. 



Yar. ORNATUS, Lessona. Black, with the carina and dorsal zone 

 and two series of maculations, white. 



Yar. STROBELI, Lessona. Grayish, with the carina and a narrow 

 dorsal zone of white, maculated with black and white on the 

 back. 



Yar. STABILEI, Lessona (fig. 47). Blackish on the back, the sides 

 lighter, zoned or maculated with black ; shield black, lighter 

 and maculated on the margins; lateral zones of the disk 

 brownish. 



Westerlund in his " Moll. Sveciae " mentions vars. leucogaster, 

 Morch ; albus, Paasch ; cinereo-nebulosus, Malm ; and niger,fas- 

 ciatus and flavescens, Westerlund. Numerous other varieties 

 have also been named by various authors ; but the}" are all of 

 too little importance to justify the expenditure of time neces- 

 sary to arrange their synonymy.
