88 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. IO3 



whorl above the periphery sutural and subsutural bands ochraceous 

 tawny, below which is a thin band of pale pinkish buff, remainder of 

 the whorl ochraceous tawny streaked with snuff brown, last whorl 

 below the periphery pale pinkish buff, spirally lined with snuff 

 brown. This specimen also shows an obese shell; length 19.1 mm., 

 greater diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 10. i mm. A narrow shell 

 and dark brown color pattern (pi. 6, fig. 24d) has the penultimate 

 whorl burnt umber finely lined and streaked with tilleul buff, last 

 whorl bister axially streaked and spirally lined with snuff brown, and 

 lined with pale pinkish buff". Length 18.6 mm., greater diameter 



11. 7 mm., spire height 10.3 mm. 



Plate 6, figure 24^ is a light gray pattern and obese form of a 

 dextral shell ; the postembryonic whorls pale pinkish cinnamon, the 

 lower half of the first half postembryonic whorl dotted with cinna- 

 mon, penultimate whorl banded on the lower half of the whorl with 

 a band of light drab shading to benzo brown axially streaked with 

 pale pinkish buff, last whorl light drab gray with a wide sutural and 

 subsutural band of pale pinkish buff, and a white peripheral band. 

 Plate 6, figure 24/, is a narrow dextral with a color pattern similar to 

 figure 24c/, only the impressed sutural band is tawny.

Area 43: Manana-Waiawa Ridge, locality 237*, elevation 1,100- 

 1,200 feet, 1929; 237a, elevation 1,400-1,450 feet, 1933; 237ba, ele- 

 vation 1,300-1,400 feet, 1933, all Meinecke-collected (figs. 4, 4a, 



P- 53)- 



This race is of interest because it occurs between chromatacme 

 and nigripicta. The shells are definitely more lined and have more 

 white color pattern than chromatacme and one would suppose they 

 were intermediate between a white-lined race and A. a. chromatacme. 

 But above area 43 the shdlls have mostly a yellowish ground and are 

 banded with warm blackish brown or liver brown. The color patterns 

 in area 43 are so close to A. a. chromatacme that I think it inadvisable 

 to separate them, although the embryonic whorls are usually light 

 colored similar to .^. a. perplexa. 



In the usual form (pi. 8, fig. 16) the embryonic whorls shade from 

 pale pinkish buff to light buff ; postembryonic whorls pale pinkish buff 

 spirally lined and axially streaked with light buff, last whorl and a 

 half just above and all below the periphery warm sepia axially 

 streaked and spirally lined with warm buff; lip and columella cal- 

 lus light brownish vinaceous. Length 19.1 mm., greater diameter 



12.8 mm., spire height 10.4 mm.
