UNCERTAIN SPECIES. 261 



Pupillidae are lacking in the New Zealand fauna, but a 

 Charopa has evolved a shell with the shape of Papilla or 

 Columella, retaining the original sculpture and coloration. 

 Its true affinity was first recognized by Henry Suter. As no 

 description of Pupa novoseelandica has appeared elsewhere in 

 this Manual, it is given here. 



Phenacharopa novoseelandica (Pfeiffer). PI. 29, fig. 10. 



Shell perforate, subcylindric, thin, obliquely closely ribbed ; 

 deep brown, variegated with straw-colored spots, especially at 

 the impressed suture; spire slightly tapering upward, the 

 apex rather rounded. Whorls 7%, a little convex, the last 

 less than one-third the length, rounded. Aperture subvertical, 

 semicircular, toothless; peristome simple, unexpanded, the 

 margins remote, columellar margin slightly dilated above. 

 Length 4.75, diam. 2 mm., aperture 1% mm. long. (Pfr.).

 Pupa, p. 135, pi. 17, f . 18, 19 ; Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1852, 

 p. 149; Monogr., Ill, p. 530. — Endodonta (Phenacharopa) 

 novoseelandica Suter, Man. N. Z. Moll., 1913, p. 697, pi. 27, 

 f. 13. — Pupa neozelanica Pfr., Hutton, Trans. N. Z. Inst., 

 XVI, p. 191. 



Pupina Ehrenberg, Symboke Physical 1831, was proposed 

 as a subgenus of Chilodonta, for toothed Pupas; no species 

 mentioned. Name preoccupied in Cyclophoridce. 



Odostomia Fleming (Brewster's Edinburgh Encyclopaedia, 

 VII, p. 76, about 1813) was proposed for a heterogeneous 

 group including some Pupillidae, Azeca, Garychiwm and vari- 

 ous marine shells. As B. B. Woodward has shown ( Journ. of 

 Conch., X, 1903, p. 359), Fleming later eliminated the land 

 shells from his genus, which has been generally retained for 

 a group of Pyrarnidellidae with Turbo plicatus as type (see 

 Dall and Bartsch, Bull. 68, U. S. Nat. Mus., 1909, p. 131). 



Puppa Denys de Montfort, Conch. System., II, 1810, p. 298, 

 monotype Pupa uva, becomes a synonym of Cerion Bolt., Vol. 

 XIV, p. 174.
