CUBAN" SUBFAMILY CHOXDEOPOMIXAE TORRE AND BARTSCH 201 



CHONDROPOMETES (CHONDROPOMETES) TORREI FLAMMILABRE, new subspecies 



Plate 8, Figitje 6 



Shell of medium size, dark iodine brown, with slightly paler vari- 

 cial streaks and spiral bands, which are of a slightly deeper shade 

 than the general coloration but quite inconspicuous. The peristome 

 is flame-color. 



The specimens before us were collected at Pico Grande, Sierra de 

 San Andres. It extends west to Zumbido, in the same range. 



The type, U.S.N.M. no. 428796, has 3.5 whorls remaining and 

 measures: Length, 21.5 mm; greater diameter, 19.9 mm; lesser diam- 

 eter, 15.3 mm. 



This subspecies suggests C. {C.) torrei iosaturatum, from which 

 it can be distinguished at once by its brilliantly colored peristome. 



CHONDROPOMETES (CHONDROPOMETES) TORREI CINGULATUM, new subspecies 



Plate 9, Figure 4 



In this race the shell is of flesh-colored ground coloring, conspicu- 

 ously marked by broad spiral bands of brown. There is also a very 

 broad dark purplish-brown area immediately behind the peristome. 

 The latter is buff. The type comes from the Ensenada de la Ayua, 

 but the race extends east from there to the Ensenada Zumbido, in 

 the Sierra de San Andres. 



The type, U.S.N.M. no. 428793, has almost 4 whorls remaining and 

 measures : Length, 22.4 mm ; greater diameter, 28.8 mm ; lesser diam- 

 eter, 14.7 mm. 



CHONDROPOMETES (CHONDROPOMETES) TORREI AFFINE, new subspecies 



Plate 10, Figure 1 



Shell similar to C. (C.) forrei cingulatum but smaller and paler, 

 having the axial dark zone behind the peristome even more strongly 

 expressed and the peristome flesh-color, not yellow, 



Tiiis race was collected by Natenson on the second mogote south 

 of the west end of the Sierra Guacamayas. 



The type, U.S.N.M. no. 468920, is an almost complete specimen, 

 having lost about half of the first turn; the 4.9 whorls remaining 

 measure : Length, 21.5 mm ; greater diameter, 19.0 mm ; lesser diam- 

 eter, 15.1 mm. 



CHONDROPOMETES (CHONDROPOMETES) TORREI FLAVIDUM, new subspecies 



Plate 9, Figure 6 



Shell similar to C. (C.) torrei afflne but with the dark axial zone 

 behind the peristome very faintly expressed and the i^eristome 

 yellow.
