 Section Helenopitpa Pilsbry, n. sect. 



Lamellae and folds as in typical Nesopupa except that the 

 t-olumellar lamella curves slightly upward at its inner end ; 

 surface nearly smooth. 



Like Indopupa, Cocopupa and Insulipupa, this is less 

 specialized than the typical Nesopupa?. It is notable for the 

 smooth surface. 



60. NESOPUPA TURTONI (E. A. Smith). PL 33, figs. 11, 14, 15. 



Shell minute cylindric, obtusely conic above, whitish, sub- 

 rimate. Whorls 5 to 6, convex, slowly increasing, parted by 

 a slightly oblique suture, striated with very oblique, very 

 delicate lines, the last whorl hardly descending, with one pit 

 in the middle behind the lip. Aperture small, irregularly 

 subquadrate, hardly a third of the total length, having 6 

 teeth within, three on the parietal wall, one columellar, two 

 palatal; peristome white, slightly expanded and reflected, 

 continuous, indented above. 



Length 3, diam. 1 mm. ; aperture % mm. long and wide

Like the St. Helena Endodonts, this species has a Poly- 

 nesian aspect. 



In the best preserved specimens the surface is smooth ex-
