CUBAN ANNUDARIIDAE — TORRE AND BARTS€H 229 



their spacing is a little more approximated than that of the spiral 

 threads, which are of about equal strength. 



Gundlach says that he found specimens of this race on trees close 

 to the ground and among sprouts and that the animal is pale brown 

 with an olivaceous tint. The tentacles are white at their base and 

 tip and they are ochi'aceous-orange in the middle. 



A cotype, U.S.N. M. No. 493347, has 4.5 whorls remaining and 

 measures: Length, 17.3 mm.; greater diameter, 8.7 mm.; lesser dia- 

 meter, 7.0 mm. 



PARACHONDRIA (PARACHONDRIA) TEXTA PORTILLENSIS, new subspecies 



Plate 20, Figure 9 



This race, which Bartsch collected at Puerto del Portillo, east of 

 Ensenada de Mora, is dark, like P. (P.) texta booneae, but the brown 

 markings are a little less pronounced, and the whorls are much more 

 inflated and gibbose and average considerably larger. 



The type, U.S.N.M. No. 391398, has 5.0 whorls remaining and 

 measures: Length, 16.5 mm.; greater diameter, 8.7 mm.; lesser 

 diameter, 7.4 mm.

This race, which was collected by Pilsbry in a ravine east of La 

 Vigia, Ensenada de Mora, is smaller than the typical race and is 

 much darker in color. The interrupted spiral bands are almost 

 continuous, and the axial arrangement, while still indicated, is less 

 pronounced. 



The type, U.S.N.M. No. 535329, has 4.5 whorls remaining and 

 measures: Length, 15.0 mm.; greater diameter, 7.8 mm.; lesser 

 diameter, 6.5 mm.

Shell elongate-conic, flesh colored, with interrupted pale brown spiral

 and spiral series. Nuclear whorls almost 2, forming a very blunt,
