50 CHONDRIN/E OF THE PYRENEAN CENTER. 



Southeastern Spain: Jumilla and Orihuela (Bourgeau). 



Pupa jumillaisis Guirao, PFR., Monogr., iii, 1853, p. 540 

 (Pupa bo-urgeaui Shuttlew. Mss. cited as a synonym). BOUR- 

 OUIGNAT, Moll, de San-Julia de Loria, 1863, p. 17, pi. 2, f. 7-9. 



The original description of jumillensis is translated above. 

 The figures are from Bourguignat, who did not give the source 

 of the specimens, remarking that it is " found in a great num- 

 ber of Spanish localities. ' ' 



Nomenclature. Rossmaessler, in 1859, described as the true 

 Pupa jumillensis of Guirao a form much smaller than Pfeif- 

 fer's and having but one columellar lamella instead of two. 

 He was at a loss as to the source of Pfeiffer's specimens, which 

 were supposed to have been furnished by himself. The matter 

 is discussed at length in Icon&graphie, iii, p. 110. Bourguig- 

 nat, in his Mollusques de San-Julia de Loria, cited above, re- 

 described jumillensis Pfr., and synonyrnized jumillensis Rm. 

 with his own P. jumillensis var. biplicata, from the Pyrenees 

 a locality far from Rossmaessler 's. Westerlund ignores Pfeif- 

 fer's jumillensis of 1853, accepting Rossmaessler 's species of 

 1859, a proceeding clearly inadmissible. The untangling of 

 this snarl must be left to European students who must elu- 

 cidate the zoological relations of the forms as well as their 

 nomenclature. 



Various forms which have been described as varieties of 

 jumillensis appear referable rather to farinesii. A variety 

 with three folds, 1 angular, 1 immersed parietal and 1 colu- 

 mellar, is noted by Bofill in the Province of Barcelona (Bull. 

 Soc. Malac. Fr., iii, 1886, p. 154). Possibly some form of fari- 

 nesii is intended. Cf. P. tcirraconensis Fagot. 



Pupa ignota appears to have been proposed as a substitute 

 for P. jumillensis Pfr. not Rossm., and if so it becomes an 

 exact synonym of jumillensis as here understood. Since I 

 have not seen the original publication, Locard's description of 

 ignota is given here. 



Pupa ignota Fagot. Cylindric-turriculate, a little elongate, 

 spire high ; 8 convex whorls, the suture well marked ; aperture 

 oblong-rounded, triplicate : 1 superior fold, lodged at the 

 suture; 2 columellar folds; peristome a little everted; shell a
