32 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO3 



chocolate, below the periphery a band of chocolate and a band of 

 white; lip and columella callus light brownish vinaceous. Length 

 17.7 mm., greater diameter 11.6 mm., spire height 9.6 mm., number 

 of whorls 6. 



Distribution, area 5?: Palolo, Guhck; Waiomao Stream, Palolo, 

 Spalding, somewhere in the region of area 5? (figs. 3, 3a, p. 29). 

 Gulick also reports specimens from Wailupe and Waialae, but I be- 

 lieve these are errors due to a mixture, because the known highland 

 forms of this group from Waialae have distinctly different patterns 

 from those of Palolo, and the lowland forms, if not extinct today, 

 most probably would show a similar variation. Also collected by 

 D. D. Baldwin, BBM 54741. Lectotype BM. 



The Spalding lot contains only specimens of A. a. cestus and no 

 specimens of A. a. fuscostriata, with which form A. a. cestus is 

 always mixed in the Gulick collection. Pilsbry (Pilsbry and Cooke, 

 1912-1914, p. 287) mentions the fact that the Spalding lot contains 

 dextral specimens oi A. a. simulator which are undoubtedly A. a. simu- 

 lator var. I of area 4. Judging from the data at hand, I believe that 

 cestus is a distinct race from A. a. fuscostriata and probably grades 

 into the higher race of A. a. simulator var. i. 



Specimen A of the BM type lot (pi. 4, fig. 10) has the white ground 

 of the last whorl above the periphery streaked with zigzag lines and 

 axial streaks of chocolate, below the periphery banded with chocolate 

 and white. 



In one BBM lot labeled Wailupe (pi. 4, fig. 11 ) a light color pattern 

 has the postembryonic whorls pale pinkish cinnamon, lightly streaked 

 with avellaneous, below the periphery of the last whorl a band of 

 russet and a band of buckthorn brown. 



A sinistral (pi. i, fig, 5) resembles the lectotype; postembryonic 

 whorls pale pinkish buff, splotched and streaked with russet, at the 

 edge of the periphery a band of white, below the periphery a band of 

 russet, a band of white, and a line of tawny.

This extinct form resembles A. a. cestus but differs in not hav- 

 ing the characteristic dark reddish-brown subperipheral band. The 

 ground color is usually darker, being a yellowish cream instead of 

 the white or whitish cream color of A. a. cestus. Both forms have a
