last whorl the band narrows to a line and fades from ochraceoiis 

 tawny to a light shade of ochraceous tawny; below the periphery of 

 the last whorl the shell is banded with a light shade of ochraceous 

 tawny, base cream color ; lip russet ; columella callus light vinaceous 

 fawn. Length 20.7 mm., greater diameter 13. i mm., spire height 

 1 1.4 mm., number of whorls 63. 



Distribution, area 32 : Waimalu-South Central Waimano Ridge, 

 type locality 204C, elevation 1,660 feet, Meinecke, 6 sinistrals 1933; 

 also 202C, elevation 1,500-1,550 feet; 203C, elevation 1,600-1,660 

 feet; 206C, elevation 1,600 feet, Meinecke, i sinistral 1933 (figs. 4, 



40. P-53)- 



The darkest color pattern (pi. 5, fig. 25) has the first half post- 

 embryonic whorl banded on the lower half of the whorl with a light 

 shade of clay color lined with white and fading to white on the last 

 half of the whorl, the penultimate whorl is white, lined on the lower 

 portion just above the edge of the periphery with honey yellow 

 shading to chamois, the last whorl is chamois all below the periphery 

 and just above the periphery, the remainder of the shell is white, be- 

 low the periphery banded with tawny. 



The lightest pattern (pi. 5, fig. 25a) has the last two whorls white, 

 tinted and faintly spirally banded with naples yellow, behind the edge 

 of the lip a streak or axial stripe of black. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA WAIMALUENSIS var. i 

 Plate i, Figure 44 



Area 32A : South Central Waimano-Central Waimano Ridge, 

 locality 202D, elevation 1,400 feet; 203D, elevation 1,450 feet, 

 Meinecke, 1933 (figs. 4, 4a, p. 53). Only one live specimen has been 

 collected in area 32A. The other shells are such dead specimens that 

 the range of color patterns is not known. 



The color pattern on the live shell (pi. i, fig. 44) from locaHty 

 202D is a shell with a color pattern similar to A. a. waimaluensis 

 (pi. 5, fig. 25), except that the spire is banded. The first embryonic 

 whorl is broken ofif, the remaining embryonic whorls light bufif; 

 postembryonic whorls white, banded with ochraceous tawny, lower 

 half of last whorl naples yellow with a line of ochraceous tawny at 

 the edge of the periphery, on the last half whorl three bands of warm 

 sepia; lip not formed; columella callus pale vinaceous fawn. The 

 color pattern is intermediate between A. a. simulacrum and A. a. 

 waimaluensis, but closest to waimaluensis.
