86 LAURLE OF WESTERN EUROPE. 



niersed. Shell thin, reddish brown, paler around the um- 

 bilicus, with the peristome and teeth whitish; ornamented 

 with quite strong, close, nearly regular longitudinal stria?. 

 Length 3, diam. 1% mm. {Locard) 



Portugal: Coimbra (collect. Paulino d'Oliveira). 



Pupilla paidinoi Locard, Archives Mus. d'Hist. Nat. Lyon, 

 vii, 1899, p. 152. 



By its umbilicus it approaches P. umbilicata, but perfectly 

 characterized by the apertural characters, with 5 denticula- 

 tions of which three emerge, not permitting a comparison 

 with any of the described forms. At first view this shell has 

 some analogy with Vertigo anglica, but the style of umbilicus 

 and form of peristome show it to be a veritable Pupilla. 

 (Loc). 



Description abbreviated somewhat from Locard. Perhaps 

 it is an umbilicate specimen of anglica.

This species differs from anglica, with which it has been 

 confused, by the less smooth, more strongly striate shell, by 

 the aperture more strongly toothed, and never having a 

 tooth-like fold at the base of the aperture, such as occurs in 

 the lower part of the aperture in all true anglica. More- 

 over, in anglica the first lamelliform fold [angular lamella] 

 is always united with the outer margin of the lip by a 

 strong thickening. In numidica, on the contrary, this thick- 

 ening does not exist, and the [angular] fold is perfectly free. 

 Length 3y±, diam. 2 mm. (Bgt.).

The surface is described as obliquely, elegantly very sharply 

 siibcostulate. It is a rather solid, subpellucid, glossy, tawny-
