warm sepia about the base, surface rough and pitted ; impressed 

 sutural band white; lip and columella callus cartridge buff. Length 

 18.5 mm., greater diameter 13.2 mm., number of whorls 5 J. 



Distribution, area 16: Kamanaiki-Kalihi Ridge, locality 121-2, 

 elevation 1.300-1,350 feet, H. Lemke and H. Lemke, Jr., 1934, BBM 

 114979, HL 128 (figs. 3, 3a, p. 29); Kalihi, Gulick, BBM 70464, 

 Wilder, BBM 50544. Lectotype specimen "x" type lot BM marked 

 by me. 



Until shells were found in area 16, the only region containing shells 

 similar to A. a. simulans was that of area 11. However, no white 

 specimen in area 1 1 is found having a dark band about the umbilicus 

 plus dark bands on the last whorl similar in arrangement to those 

 on either the lectotype or the original figure. What Reeve called 

 A. decora closely matches a color pattern of A. a. riihidipicta 

 (area 11). 



Plate I, figure 19, shows the usual form of the shell in the Lemke 

 lot from area 16, and a color pattern close to that of figure 34; the 

 postembryonic whorls white, last whorl just below the impressed 

 sutural band and below the periphery lined with cinnamon, basal 

 band in the umbilical region sayal brown. Length 18.0 mm., greater 

 diameter 11. 7 mm., spire height 9.4 mm., number of whorls 6\. 



An obese specimen (pi, 4, fig. 35) looks more like the form of 

 figure 34; the postembryonic whorls white, banded on the first post- 

 embryonic whorl with cinnamon, on the penultimate and last whorl 

 lined with chocolate, last whorl below the periphery with a line of 

 chocolate, two lines of clay color, a line of chocolate, and a band of 

 chocolate in the umbilical region. Length 18.7 mm., greater diameter 

 12.3 mm., spire height 9.6 mm. One specimen (pi. 4, fig. 35a) has 

 the last two whorls colored pale pinkish buff streaked with cinnamon 

 buff and clay color and spirally lined with verona brown and warm 

 sepia. 



The color patterns of figures 35 and 35a indicate that yellow 

 forms may occur at higher elevations. Quite possibly A. a. simulans 

 is an intermediate race between a form of A. a. albofasciata and the 

 lower form of A. a. simulans var. i.
