CUBAN SUBFAMILY CHONDKOrOIMINAE TORRE AND BARTSCH 337 



We liave seen specimens of this race from Caoba, the Paradones 

 at Esmeralda north of the pass near Coliseo, Sierra Dcscansia, hill 

 next the cemetery at Coliseo, Paradones east of the pass at Coliseo, 

 and the Paradones at the rifle range at Limonar. 



CHONDROPOMA (CHONDROPOMA) PICTUM YUMERIENSE, new subspecies 



Plate 29, Figure 6 



This small race, which occupies the Yumeri Valley near Matanzas 

 and is particularly abundant at the Vista Alegre, has in the past 

 been confused with typical G. {C.) jnctum picfuni, from which it is 

 readily distinguished by its weaker sculpture and much less thick- 

 ened peristome, as Avell as by its much greater range of color. The 

 ground color here ranges from flesh-color to chestnut-brown. Speci- 

 mens of this last color resemble C. (C.) pic firm goiddianum (Poey) 

 but lack the orange lip and are much smaller. Interrupted spiral 

 bands of brown are present on spire and base. 



We have figured the type and two specimens to show the range 

 of coloration. The type, U.S.N.M. no. 499602, a complete specimen, 

 has 7.0 whorls and measures: Length, 17.8 mm; greater diameter, 

 9.3 mm ; lesser diameter, 7.6 mm.

de Cuba, vol. 2, \^\^. 4:>-44. 



This beautiful race was well defined by Poey, but like others it has 

 been confused by contemporary and subsequent students with C. {€'.) 

 pictum picfimi, from which its much larger size and splendid shining 

 chestnut-broAvn, or at times orange, coloration and orange-colored 

 peristome strikingly differentiate it. It occupies the Abra de Figuroa 

 and Loma Mena of the lower Yumeri Valley. 



The specimen figured, U.S.N.M. no. 493037, one of a large series, 

 comes from the Abra de Figuroa. It has a little more than 4 whorls 

 remaining and measures: Length, 26.1 mm; greater diameter, 15.1 

 mm ; lesser diameter, 12.3 mm. 



CHONDROPOMA (CHONDROPOMA) PICTUM CELSUM, new subspecies

This huge race we have collected on the north side of El Palenque, 

 where it extends from the eastern end west through the Sierra Cama-
