CUBAN ANNULARIIDAE — TORRE AND BARTSCH 359 



These bands are present on both spire and base. No dark sutural Ime 

 is present on the nuclear whorls. Nuclear whorls 2, well rounded, 

 microscopically granulose. Postnuclear whorls marked by retractively 

 slanting axial ribs, which are quite regular and about half as wide as 

 the spaces that separate them. Spiral sculpture absent on the spire. 

 Suture well impressed. Periphery strongly rounded. Base short, 

 moderately, openly umbilicated, marked by the continuation of the 

 axial ribs, and on the lunbilical w^all by feebly developed spiral 

 threads. The last whorl is very slightly solute. Aperture broadly 

 oval; peristome simple. Operculum typically bermudezid. 



The type, U.S.N. M. No. 493495, comes from Palenque de Tagua- 

 yabon, near Remedios, Santa Clara Province. It has 6 whorls and 

 measures: Length, 18.1 mm.; greater diameter, 13.4 mm.; lesser 

 diameter, 11.2 mm. 



ANNULARIA (BERMUDEZIA) EUGLYPTA, new species 



Plate 46, Figure 6 



Shell of turbinate outline, thin, pale yellow, with interrupted spiral 

 bands of dark chestnut-brown. The spots composing these bands are 

 round and distantly spaced, and they are present on both spire and 

 base. On the umbilical wall there are almost continuous lines of 

 brown. The nuclear whorls do not show a brown sutural line. Nuclear 

 whorls 2, well rounded, microscopically granulose. Postnuclear whorls 

 inflated, strongly rounded, marked by decidedly retractively slanting, 

 quite well elevated axial ribs, which are about half as wide as the spaces 

 that separate them. Suture well constricted. Periphery well rounded. 

 Base moderately broadly openly umbilicated, marked by the continu- 

 ation of the axial ribs. The umbilical wall, in addition to the axial 

 ribs, shows feeble spiral threads. The last whorl is slightly solute. 

 Aperture very broadly oval, almost subcircular; peristome simple. 

 Operculum typically bermudezid. 



The type, U.S.N.M. No. 493496, has 6 whorls and measures : Length, 

 17.9 mm.; greater diameter, 13.9 mm.; lesser diameter, 11.2 mm. 

 This species comes from Loma Platero, which is a little east of Jagiie- 

 yar, Santa Clara Province. 



The animals of this species were described by Bartsch from material 

 collected at Loma Platero August 10, 1928. The upper side pinkish 

 buff in general tone, with a sooty smudge between the tentacles, this 

 smudge extending forward toward the snout. The posterior portion 

 of dorsum pale olivaceous; base of tentacles of the same color as the 

 body, the rest black, except the extreme attenuated tip, which is 

 grayish flesh colored. Sides of the body a little paler than the back, 

 covered by numerous fine whitish tubercles. Sole of the foot pale 

 buft', deeply cleft medially. The animal when at rest suspends itself 

 by a mucous thread.
