NO. I ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA DIXON WELCH 4I 



The color patterns of area 17 tend to be darker than those of A. a. 

 simnlans, although individual shells in both areas 16 and 17 may- 

 have very similar patterns, A shell with the usual form and color 

 pattern of the shell (pi. i, fig. 20) has the postembryonic whorls 

 white, banded with warm blackish brown, last whorl lined and tinted 

 above the periphery with cinnamon buff, and a line of cinnamon buff 

 on the white subperipheral band, about the umbilicus a band of cream 

 color ; lip and columella callus white, tinted with pale vinaceous fawn. 

 Length 17.6 mm., greater diameter 12.0 mm., spire height 9.1 mm., 

 number of whorls 6^. 



Another specimen (pi. 4, fig. 36) has the usual form and a light 

 color pattern of the shell ; postembryonic whorls white, lined with 

 cinnamon buff and cinnamon ; impressed sutural band white, on the 

 penultimate whorl, just above the suture of the whorl below, a line 

 of warm sepia, last whorl lined at the edge of the periphery with 

 warm sepia, base banded with carob brown and a band of black in 

 the umbilical region; lip and columella callus white, streaked with 

 pale brownish vinaceous. Length 17.7 mm., greater diameter 12.3 mm., 

 spire height 9.0 mm. This specimen of figure 36 resembles Reeve's 

 original figure of A. a. siiiiulans. The darkest color pattern (pi. 4, 

 fig. 36a) is a warm blackish brown on the postembryonic whorls, last 

 whorl banded at the periphery with a band of white which is lined 

 with two lines of mikado brown, below the periphery a line of cinna- 

 mon buff ; impressed sutural band sayal brown shading to pale pinkish 

 buff at the upper edge.
