Fig 2 represents the jaw of a specimen of Agriolimax 

 campestris var. hyperboreus (Westerlund), collected by 

 Prof. H. F. Wickham at Soda Spring, Yakima Co., 

 FlG - : Wash., in 1889. 



Fig. 3 represents a parasitic worm, believed 

 to be a Leptodera, from A. campestris var., col-

DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW ETJLOTJE (HELICES) FROM 



CENTRAL ASIA. 



BY C. F. ANCEY. 



I. Cathaica Funki n. sp. 



Shell much depressed, openly and rather widely umbilicated, of a 

 somewhat solid substance, opaque, bluish-white, paler beneath and 

 also above the periphery, more or less spotted with a few puuctiform 

 and pellucid dots beneath, a little shining, but not much so above. 

 Spire greatly flattened, generally scarcely raised, barely convex,. 

 apex obtuse, corneous or dark colored. Whorls 5, convex, regularly 

 increasing, furnished with oblique smooth lines of growth, somewhat 

 irregular ; the last whorl barely and gently deflected in front, sub- 

 depressed above, more or less roundly angled above the middle, the 

 angle being very obtuse and obsolete towards the aperture ; more 

 convex around the umbilicus. Aperture oblique, well rounded, 

 scarcely lunate, ample, margins not remote. Peristome simple, 

 widened, briefly expanded, chiefly at the columellar edge, moder- 

 ately thickened at the base and columella, not reflected. 



Greater diam. 16-17 ; lesser 13 A-U ; height 7 J-8; of aperture 6|- 



7J mill. 



Karghalik, Central Asia (teste E. Funk). 



Some years ago, I received this new species under the unpublished 

 name of Helix Funki " Bottg.", and do not think it was ever de- 

 scribed since. In form it is like Helix obvia Hartm., but the shell 

 is of the same type and has the same characters of aperture as 

 Helix stoliczkana Nevill, of Yarkand ; it, however, lacks the two 

 straight brown bands of that species, in which they are a constant 

 feature, and is more shining and less rugose. The style of color is 

 quite similar to that of Helix rubens, although paler, at least as 

 regards the three specimens now before me.
