3. A. a. lenikei, new subspecies 



4. A. a. lineipicta, new subspecies 



5. A. a. fumositmcta, new subspecies 



Note. — Some specimens of A. a. polymer pha and its varieties lack 

 the dark color, such as black or gray, on the first embryonic whorl. 



II. The pattern is a strongly axially streaked one, the color brown- 

 ish gray or light tan, impressed sutural band white, brown, or buff. 

 The forms are limited to zone II, region III, between Kipapa Gulch 

 and South Kaukonahua Stream. Exception, A. a. tuberans, which 

 has banded forms that may or may not be strongly axially streaked.

1. A. a. pilsbryi, new subspecies 



2. A. a. roseata, new subspecies 



3. A. a. laurani, new subspecies 



4. A. a. parvicolor, new subspecies 



A. a. laurani and A. a. parvicolor are intermediate forms between 

 a lower smaller race with very pointed embryonic whorls, occurring 

 in lower zone I, and a large obese race of shells inhabiting an upper 

 zone or zone III. I am merely putting them in the subspecific group 

 of A. a. pilsbryi because they are closer to the form of pilsbryi than 

 to the upper group of A. a. turgida.
