This is a beautiful species, between H. yloriosa Pfeiffer and H. 

 Ibaraoensis Angas, but nearer to the latter one. It is however 

 smaller, moi'e globose, the aperture is larger, of a more oblique 

 shape and the columellar margin is thicker. 



Ampelita Robillardi Angas. 



This does not appear to be a very variable species. The shell is 

 more or less depressed and the upper line is sometimes wanting.

1 at first supposed this species might be L. Favanni Lam., var. /? 

 elongatula, of Crosse (Journ. de Conch., 1868, p. 185), also found 

 in southern Madagascar, but the present form is quite different in 

 shape, number of whorls and sculpture from the true L. Favanni 

 Lam., the latter being similar in sculpture to the Bulimulus dealba-
