166 PAGODULINA. 



13c. Agardhia truncatella skipetarica A. J. Wagner. PI. 19, 

 fig. 15. 



Shell more slenderly cylindric, extremely closely and finely 

 rib-striate; the aperture is wholly toothless, its outer margin 

 weakly impressed. Length 4, diam. 1.4 mm. (Wagner). 



Zabljak in Montenegro; Kiribriicke close to Mesi, near Sku- 

 tari, Albania (Sturany, 1905). 



Agardhia (Agardhia) truncatella skipetarica A. J. Wag- 

 ner, Sturany and Wagner, Denkschr. math. nat. Klasse k. 

 Akad. Wissenschaften, Bd. 91, 1914, p. 47, pi. 18, f. 105. 



By its close and fine rib-striation this form approaches a 

 toothless form of A. parreyssu remarkably. The oblique 

 direction of the striae as well as the more slowly increasing, 

 distinctly convex whorls allow it to be recognized as a form 

 of A. truncatella (S. & W.). 



Subfamily Pagodulinesle. 



This subfamily is provided for the reception of Pagodulina 

 and Spelcrodiscus (Aspasita) , genera which cannot well be in- 

 cluded in the Pupillinse or the Orculinse on account of their 

 rather peculiar shells. It is a provisional expedient which 

 may serve until the affinities of these groups shall be worked 

 out, 



The species are illustrated on plates 20 to 22.
