next to the last large, inflated and with the last paler; spire above 

 the next to the last whorl suddenly extended into a cone; suture 

 simple; aperture small, not equal to the spire, subquadrate, reddish

251. Achatinella nigrolabris Smith. 



Amaslra nigruhibrii Sra. P. Zool. Soc. London, 1873, p. 85, pi. x, fig. 9. 



T. dextrorsa, globoso-conica, perforata, parum nitida, longitudinaliter 

 rugose (baud spiraliter) striata, saturate nigro-fusca, suturam infra zona lata 

 dilute sordido-carnea cincta ; anfract. 6 1-2, primi 3 1-2 subplani ccEteri con- 

 vexi ; sutura baud marginata, apertura alba ; perist. margine tenui nigro- 

 purpureo, intus leviter, limbatum; columella rosea, plica laminteformi basali 

 (et interdum tuberculis 1-2) munita. Long. 20, diam. 12 mill. 



Shell dextral, globose-conic, perforate, hardh^ shining, longi- 

 tudinally roughly (not spirally) striated, dark black-brown, en- 

 circled below the suture with a broad, pale, dirty, flesh-colored 

 band; whorls 6 1-2, first 3 1-2 somewhat flat, the rest convex; 

 suture not marginate; aperture white; the thin margin of the lip 

 black-purple, lightly thickened within; columella rose, furnished 

 with a lamina-like basal fold (and sometimes with 1-2 tubercles). 



Affinities. It is allied to Am. spirizona Fer., which is con- 

 fined to another range of mountains, is found almost exclusively 

 on the ground, and has a spire somewhat convex, while this is 

 regularly conical. — Sm. 



Remarks. This species is invariably dextral. — Sm. 



Hab. The metropolis of the species is Wahiawa. It is also 

 found in all the valleys from Kalaikoa to Waimea.

 anfr. 7 1-2, modice convexis, ultimo 2-5 longitudinis vix formante, rotundato;

 subtransversa ; perist. simplice, recto, acuto, margine columellari dilatato 

 reflexo, subadnato. Ivong. 21, diam. 11 1-2 mill. 



B. castanea, fascia mediana et basi lutescentibus, spira minus elongata.
