CUBAN SUBFAMILY CHONDROPOMINAE TORRE AND BARTSCH 339 



comes from Sitio Bonilla, Jaruco, and has a little more than 4 whorls 

 remaining, which measure: Length, 23.7 mm; greater diameter, 14.2 

 mm; lesser diameter, 11.0 mm. 



CHONDROPOMA (CHONDROPOMA) PICTUM ANAFENSE, new subspecits 

 Plate 29, Figure 4 



This subspecies ranges from the Sierra Anafe, through Guanajay 

 to Artemisa. 



In its enfeebled sculpture this race resembles C. (C.) pictum sagra^ 

 from which its larger size will distinguish it. 



The type, U.S.N.M. no. 493084 comes from the side of Loma de 

 Anafe. It has a little more than 3 v.horls remaining and measures : 

 Length, 16.3 mm ; greater diameter, 9.7 mm ; lesser diameter, 7.9 mm.

 p. 190. 



Shell large, short, stout, broadly conic, ranging from flesh-color 

 to pale purple, sometimes unicolor, but usually with interrupted 

 spiral bands of brown, of which the one at the summit is a little 

 broader than the rest, equaling in width the one immediately below 

 the subperipheral on the base. These interrupted spiral bands 

 are arranged in axial as well as spiral series. The interior of the 

 aperture varies in color with the intensity of the outer coloration, 

 the peristome usually being yellowish white. Nuclear whorls 2, well 

 rounded, smooth, forming a rather blunt apex. Postnuclear whorls 

 strongly rounded, inflated, very narrowly shouldered, almost ap- 

 pressed at the summit and marked by numerous low, rounded spiral 

 threads, which are a little wider than the spaces that separate them. 

 In addition to this, there are obsolete, retractively slanting axial 

 threads and finer incremental lines. At irregular intervals there 

 are also varicial axial streaks. At the summit at irregular intervals 

 there are a few scattered ill-defined denticles representing thicken- 

 ings of some of the ribs. These are best developed on the early 

 turns. Periphery strongly rounded. Base short, inflated, strongly 

 rounded, openly umbilicated, marked with sculpture like that char- 

 acterizing the spire. The sculpture on the umbilical wall is a little 

 w^eaker than the rest. Aperture large, ovate; peristome double, the 

 outer slightly expanded and reflected, the inner almost as broad as 

 the outer and also somewhat expanded and reflected. Operculum 

 paucispiral with submarginal nucleus, the outside covered with a 

 rather thick deposit of rather coarse calcareous granules.
