oblong-tapering, the summit somewhat obtuse. Six convex, 

 regularly increasing whorls, the suture impressed, last whorl

Pupa cartennensis Letourneux MS., ANCEY, Bull. Soc. Zool. 

 de France, vol. 18, 1893, p. 138. 



"This interesting species belongs to the group of Pupa 

 michaudi of Terver. It is quite unlike all of its congeners, 

 from which it may be distinguished without difficulty by the 

 characters of the aperture. This is not toothless, as has been 

 affirmed by MM. Letourneux et Bourguignat in their Prodrome 

 de la Malacologie terrestre et fluviatite de la Tunisie, but pro- 

 vided with a single columellar denticle" (Ancey). 



This species was mentioned incidentally by Letourneux and 

 Bourguignat under their description of Pupa punica, q. v. 



9. GRANOPUPA PUNICA (Let. et Bgt.). 



Shell minute, rimate (the rima half covered), oblong, 

 slightly fusiform, tapering above and below, a little swollen in 

 the middle, rather fragile, subdiaphanous, corneous-chestnut, 

 obliquely striatulate ; spire oblong, obtusely tapering, the apex 

 large, obtuse, having a mamillate appearance ; whorls S 1 /^, 

 having a twisted appearance, rounded, regularly increasing, 

 separated by a deep suture, the last of moderate size, a little 

 convex, slightly flattened near the peristome outside, tapering 

 below, straightened above at the insertion. Aperture oblique, 

 subovate, 6-lamellate, as follows: 2 parietal lamellae, one 

 minute at the insertion, the other median, more deeply placed : 

 2 columellar lamella?, the lower one very minute ; and 2 pala- 

 tals, rather remote, and not reaching the margin. Peristome 

 whitish, acute, lightly spreading throughout ; columellar mar- 

 gin dilated in triangular form and expanded above the um- 

 bilical crevice ; margins strongly approaching. Alt. 4, diam. 

 iy 2 mm. (L.d-B.).
