NO. I ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA DIXON — WELCH 83 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA SIMULACRUM var. i 



Plate s, Figure 26 



Area 38: Central Waimano-North Central Waimano Ridge, 



locality 212A, elevation 1,200-1,300 feet, i live sinistral, Meinecke, 

 1933 ; North Central Waimano-North Waimano Ridge, locality 

 215B, elevation 1,450 feet; 216B, elevation 1,450 feet; 218B, eleva- 

 tion 1,600-1,650 feet, I live sinistral, all Meinecke-collected, 1933 

 (figs. 4, 4a, p. 53). Since only two live shells are known from this area 

 the range of color patterns is not known. 



The shells are light color forms very similar to A. a. simulacrum, 

 but differ in not having any dark-banded color patterns similar to 

 plate 7, figure 13. A color pattern (pi. 5, fig. 26) common to the two 

 live shells has the postembryonic whorls white spirally banded with 

 tawny, base pale pinkish buff tinted with massicot yellow; Hp not 

 formed. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA RUBIDILINEA, new subspecies 



Plate i, Figure 51 ; Plate 7, Figures 16-18 



The shell of the holotype (pi. i, fig. 51) has the embryonic whorls 

 white; postembryonic whorls white profusely lined with chocolate; 

 impressed sutural band russet ; lip and columella callus light vinaceous 

 fawn. Length 20.7 mm., greater diameter 14.0 mm., spire height 



10. 1 mm. 



Distribution, area 47 : Manana-Waiawa Ridge, type locality 239a, 

 elevation 2,000-2,050 feet, Meinecke, 1933; also 239b, elevation 

 2,050-2,250 feet, 6 sinistral ; 239c, elevation 2,100-2,300 feet, i sinis- 

 tral, Meinecke, 1933 ; North ^Central Waimano-North Waimano 

 Ridge, locality 219B, elevation 1,850-1,900 feet, 8 sinistral, Meinecke, 

 1933 ; Waimano-Manana Ridge, locality 220A ?, Meinecke, 1929 

 (figs. 4, 4a, p. 53). 



The form of the holotype may not be the usual shape of the shell. 

 Only seven adult specimens are had from the type locality, so a shell 

 that appears to be the most usual form and having the characteristic 

 color pattern is chosen for the holotype. The color pattern on a narrow 

 shell is lighter (pi. 7, fig. 18), entire shell white; banded on the first 

 postembryonic whorl just above the periphery with russet, shading 

 to mars brown, on the penultimate, last whorl lined above the periph- 

 ery with cinnamon buff, below the periphery with chocolate. Length 



20.2 mm., greater diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 10.2 mm. 



Each locality on a different ridge has shells with color patterns 

 showing a slightly different arrangement of bands and lines. The form
