TORNATELLJNA. 185 



Tornatellma noumeensis CROSSE, Journ. de Conchyl., xviii, 

 1870, p. 244; xix, 1871, p. 193, pi. 6, f. 4; 1894, p. 305. PFR., 

 Monogr., viii, 318. GASSIES, Faune Conch. N. Caled., ii, 1871, 

 p. 95, but not the figure. 



This form is closely related to T. novoseelandica, but differs 

 by its broader, more conic shape. Figured from specimens 

 received from M. Marie. Crosse's figure (copied in fig. 3), is 

 not satisfactory. The color of fresh shells is corneous-chest- 

 nut. Others are clear whitish-corneous, but they may be 

 bleached. Cf. T. mastersi Braz., which differs specifically, 

 we think, by its lower parietal lamella. 



4. Philippine and East Indian Archipelagos. 



Several of these forms stand in need of further elucidation, 

 their relationships being imperfectly known from the pub- 

 lished descriptions. 



44. T. KOCHIANA Moellendorff. PI. 38, figs. 14, 15; pi. 40, 

 figs. 11, 12. 



Shell imperforate, ovate-conic, thin, minutely striatulate, 

 olivaceous-corneous. Spire conic, the apex somewhat acute. 

 Whorls 5, convex. Aperture lunate-oval; peristome unex- 

 panded, acute. Parietal lamella rather strong, entering 

 deeply. Columella strongly twisted spirally, truncate at base. 

 Length 3.25, diam. 1.75 mm. (Mttdff.). 



Philippines: at the town of Cebu, on plants (0. Koch). 



Tornatellina kochiana MLLDPF., Malakozoologische Blatter 

 n. F., x. 1888, p. 163, pi. 4, f. 11. 



Smaller and somewhat wider than T. manilensis Dohrn, not 

 smooth, but distinctly though finely striate, the columella is 

 strongly twisted and distinctly truncate below, while in mani- 

 lensis it is said to be scarcely truncate (Mlldff.). 



The original figures are copied on plate 38. A specimen 

 2.9 mm. long is drawn on pi. 40. figs. 11, 12. It needs further 

 comparison with T. manilensis, which has been placed in Ela-s- 

 mia-s, on account of the comparisons made in Dohrn 's descrip- 

 tion.
