THE CYCLOPHORID LAND MOLLUSIKS OF AMEKI'CA 21 



FARCIMEN (FARCIMEN) OBESUM OBESUM, new snbspecies 



Plate 3, Figures 7-9 



This race was collected by Bartsch on Loma Platero. It is much 

 more gibbose than the smaller eastern race, F. (F.) o. subobesum. 

 We have also seen specimens of it from Seibado de Yaguajay and from 

 El Eesbalillo, Cambao, Yaguajay, and Eemedios. 



The type, U.S.N.M. No. 535908, comes from Loma Platero. It has 

 4.5 whorls remaining and measures : Height, 31.4 mm. ; greater diam- 

 eter, 18.6 mm. 



Bartsch described the animal of specimens collected on Loma Platero 

 as being of a general pale pink tone with huffish snout. The whole body 

 except the sole of the foot is covered with small flattened tubercles, 

 which are marked by numerous fine white dots. Tentacles bright 

 coral-red. Sole of foot pale pink. 



FARCIMEN (FARCIMEN) OBESUM SUBOBESUM, new snbspecies 



Plate 3, Figures 19-21 



This race ranges through the mogotes about Remedios and Yagua- 

 jay. We have it from the Dos Sierras, Central San Agustin ; Caicaje, 

 Loma de Bueno Vista and the north slope of the Sierra de Meneses 

 east of Yaguajay, also opposite Jungalito. It can be easily distin- 

 guished from typical F. (F.) obesum ohesum by its much smaller size 

 and less gibbose form. 



The type, U.S.N.M. No. 516710, comes from the paredones on the 

 north side of the second mogote west of the gap in the Dos Sierras, 

 Santa Clara Province. It has 6 whorls remaining and measures: 

 Height, 28.1 mm. ; greater diameter, 14.5 mm. 



The specimens collected by Bartsch at the Central San Agustin and 

 in the Sierra de Jatibonico, opposite Los Broquelles, were described 

 by him as having the entire animal flesh colored with a rosy flush, 

 with the tentacles bright coral-red. The papillae of the sides with 

 numerous white dots. 



FARCIMEN (FARCIMEN) ALUTACEUM ([Menke] Pfeiffer) 



Shell elongate-ovate, varying very greatly in size in the different 

 subspecies. The early whorls are wax yellow; this changes to dull 

 orange on the succeeding turns and finally to dull reddish brown, or 

 dull plum purple on the last whorl. Peristome white with a yellow 

 tinge. Interior of the aperture reddish brown. Nuclear whorls 

 almost 2, strongly rounded, smooth. Postnuclear whorls strongly 

 rounded, the first marked by more or less regular, retractively slant-
