144 GASTROCOPTA, EAST INDIES, POLYNESIA. 



"Leucoehilus artense (Montr.), mut. cornea Bttgr. in lift.," 

 Moellecdorff, 1893, is described as follows: "The variety is 

 horn-brown, and as a rule still more slender than the type." 

 He gives the localities, Leyte, Iba near Malitbog, Liloan on 

 Panaon, Limansaua (Quadras). Also on Cebu (Koch) and 

 near Balinag, Prov. Bulacan (Quadras and Mlldff.), Ma jay- 

 jay, Prov. Laguna (Mlldff.). 



Specimens from the Quadras collection labeled L. artense 

 cornea, doubtless determined by von Moellendorff, are from 

 Bisucay, Calamianes (pi. 24, figs. 7, 11) and Apapa, Guam. 

 These agree absolutely with the Oahuan form of G. lyonsiana 

 from Kailua, as all of them have the small basal fold devel- 

 oped. The angulo-parietal lamella is slightly more sinuous 

 than in the Manoa Valley lyonsiana. The length varies from 

 2.35 to 2.7 mm. 



87. GASTROCOPTA CAPILLACEA (Dohrii et Semper). 



Shell rimate, ovate-conic, thin, pellucid, obliquely marked 

 with hair-like stria?, corneous. Suture impressed, simple. 

 Whorls Si/o, convex, the last slightly ascending in front, some- 

 what compressed at the base. Aperture vertical, contracted 

 by 4 or 5 teeth ; one strongly sinuous parietal ; one trans- 

 verse, lamellif orm columellar ; one punctiform basal, and 1 or 

 2 deeply placed palatals, the lower strong, upper very small 

 or disappearing; peristome a little expanded, the columellar 

 margin widely reflected. Length 3y 2 , width 114, width of 

 aperture % mm. (Z>. & 8.}. 



Philippines: Masoloc, in the island of Mindanao (Dr. C. 

 Semper). 



Pupa capillacea DOHRN et SEMPER, Malakozool. Blaetter, ix, 

 1862, p. 207. PPEIFFER, Monogr. Hel. Viv., vi, 320. 



The type of capillacea has not been figured. According to 

 the dimensions given, its shape should be highly characteristic, 

 the diameter contained 2.G times in the length -- somewhat 

 narrower than the most lengthened G. strait yd. It is also 

 larger than any other species of the region. It is likely, how- 

 ever, that the dimensions were not measured exactly. I have 

 found the limit of error to be very high in many measure- 

 ments of mimite shells.
