92 ORCULA. 



the only living Orcula of north Africa, where however there 

 are two fossil species, Pupa ectina Bgt. (Vol. 26, p. 225) and 

 P. amhUja Bgt. (Vol. 27, p. 4). 



Orcula turcica (Let.). Vol. 27, p. 23. 



Orcula scyphus graecus Pils,, Vol. 27, p. 36, appears to be 

 practically identical with 0. turcica Let., which is no doubt 

 the inadequately defined Pupa critica Zel. of Pfeiffer, collected 

 on Syra by Zelebor. In the Hesse collection I find specimens 

 from the Piraeus, Lykabettos near Athens, Syra and Tinos 

 Islands. 



Orcula wagneri ljubetenensis Sturany. 



By a typographical error the name was spelled " Ijube- 

 tensis " in Vol. 27, p. 257. 



Subgenus Orculella Steenberg. 



Orculella Steenb. Videnskabelige Meddelelser fra Dansk. 

 naturh. For, i Kobenhavn, vol. 80, 1925, p. 176, tod. Orcula 

 orientalis Pfr. 



This subgenus apparently includes the species No. 9 to No. 

 13 of the monograph in Manual vol. 27, pp. 27-36. 



Not much can be done towards stabilizing the nomenclature 

 of the Orculellae until the internal lamellae of 0. sirianocori- 

 ensis of Cyprus, 0. orientalis, type in Pfeiffer 's collection, and 

 0. scyphus from the type locality, Brusa, are examined, as 

 these are the early names. The internal characters are also 

 unknown in part of the named local forms. 



Orcula orientalis (Pfr.). Vol. 27, p. 29. 



The form from Lebanon, which Westerlund called var. 

 cedrorum, has a quite weak lower-palatal fold half a whorl 

 inward. The inner end of the parietal lamella flares out- 

 ward, and there is a low cord-like lamella near and outside 

 of the parietal lamella near its inner end. 



The form common in the Sarus river debris at Adana, 

 Cilicia, has no trace of a lower-palatal fold ; otherwise similar 

 to the preceding, the inner end of the parietal lamella flaring
