56 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO3 



brown, axially streaked and finely lined with pale smoke gray, last 

 whorl and a half bay profusely lined and streaked with tilleul buff, 

 basal band warm sepia ; outer margin of lip wood brown, inner margin 

 vinaceous buff, columella callus white. 



A narrow specimen (pi. 5, fig. 28) measures: Length 18.7 mm., 

 greater diameter 11. 3 mm., spire height ii.o mm.; postembryonic 

 whorls avellaneous, faintly axially streaked and spirally lined with 

 army brown, last whorl below and at the periphery lined and banded 

 with bister and snuff brown. An obese shell (pi. 5, fig. 29) shows 

 a white color pattern occurring on 16 percent of the shells in the com- 

 bined Cooke, Judd, and Thurston lots ; postembryonic whorls white ; 

 impressed sutural band white, edged wth sayal brown ; last whorl be- 

 low the periphery banded with light cinnamon drab, basal band 

 fuscous. A white banded color pattern (pi. 5, fig. 30), has the postem- 

 bryonic whorls white, banded with sayal brown, last whorl at and 

 below the periphery banded with snuff brown. 



In the Thurston lot (pi. 5 fig. 30a) a shell with the usual obese 

 form has a pattern which resembles the form and type of banding 

 of A. a. pilshryi, but the color of the bands are entirely different on 

 the two forms. The postembryonic whorls are white, last whorl 

 banded below the periphery with chocolate ; impressed sutural band 

 chocolate. Length 18.4 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., spire height 

 9.2 mm. The presence of this chocolate-banded form in the 

 Thurston lot is of interest, because it may be a representative of a 

 still lower race, which is a chocolate-banded one and closely related 

 to A. a. pilshryi. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA PARVICOLOR, new subspecies 



Plate i, Figure 40; Plate 6, Figures 15-15C 



Achatinella turgida oznim Pfeiffer, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. Conch., vol. 22, 

 pp. 295, 298, pi. 56, figs. 3, 3a (only), 1914. 



This form is smaller than A. a. turgida and has a light color pattern 

 and never has the dark diamine brown or yellow color patterns of 

 A. a. turgida. The subspecies is not found today, being a race collected 

 by Gulick and identified by him as turgida. The embryonic whorls of 

 the holotype (pi. i, fig. 40) are white; postembryonic whorls pale 

 pinkish buff, axially streaked with sayal brown, peripheral band on 

 the last whorl pale pinkish buff ; edge of the lip fawn color. Length 

 19.2 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., spire height 10.3 mm., number 

 of whorls 6^. 



Distribution, area 36??: Waimalu?, Gulick. I have tentatively 

 placed the probable locality somewhere in Waiau and Punanani
