198 PUPILLA, ASIA. 



22. PUPILLA CHINENSIS (Hilber). PI. 22, fig. 14. 



The shell is very small, cylindric, having a very narrow, 

 circular umbilicus, extremely finely striate, formed of 6 

 strongly convex whorls. The color of my specimen is glossy- 

 brownish. The aperture is bluntly angular, continuous in a 

 strong callus, having a white, strongly thickened peristome, 

 reflected nearly to the upper margin. A strong parietal fold 

 and tooth-like projections on the right wall of the aperture 

 are present. The neck bears no trace of a fold. Alt. 3, great- 

 est diam. 1.5 mm. (Hilber). 



China: Lan-tchou-fu, Prov. Kan-su, one example in or on 

 loess (v. Loczy).

Hilber 's very inadequate figures of this and the following 

 two species are reproduced photographically. 



23. PUPILLA RICHTHOFENI (Hilber). PI. 22, fig. 15. 



The shell is very small, cylindric, with a narrow umbilical 

 crevice, extremely finely striate, consisting of 6 convex whorls. 

 The color of my specimen is glossy yellowish-white. The aper- 

 ture is truncate-oval, with a strong callus and with a strong, 

 internally thickened, reflected margin. It has a very weak 

 parietal fold, the indication of a tooth on the outer wall of 

 the mouth, and a strong columellar tooth rather far within. 

 On the neck there is a very weak callus. Alt. 3, greatest 

 diam. 1.5 mm. (Hilber). 



China: Hoi-njing-shien, Prov. Kan-su, from loess (Loczy).

This species appears to me to stand near P. triplicata Stu- 

 der. The most conspicuous difference is in the sharp peri- 

 stome of the latter species. In examination the last whorl of 

 the single specimen was broken ; in restoring it the umbilical
