I cannot identify this species with any of the numerous varieties of A. atiric7ila, 

 and therefore describe it. It is very variable in colour, shading from rich brown to 

 light yellow : when brown the band — if present — is yellowish, and conversely. The 

 lip varies in colour from dark brown to white. It is a fairly thin shell and appears to 

 be common. 



Hab. Oahu, ridges round Nuuanu, and Mount Tantalus (Perkins).
