98 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. I03 



number of whorls 6j, has the postembryoiiic whorls light but^' axially 

 streaked with cinnamon buff ; impressed sutural band on the first 

 postembryonic whorl and a half tawny, on the remaining whorls 

 the sutural band has the ground color; just below the periphery of 

 the last whorl a band of white, the remainder of the base warm sepia 

 axially streaked with zigzag lines of light buff, the edge of the 

 periphery and just above banded with a band of warm sepia broken 

 by the ground color. This color pattern is very similar to the typical 

 Icnikci pattern (pi. 2, fig. 5) except that the spire is yellow and not 

 banded or streaked with gray on the first half of the penultimate 

 whorl. 



Although .1. a. Icinkei and its variety are not well localized, as far 

 as the material at hand is concerned, they are of great importance to 

 the addition of the knowledge of shell variation. Not only is there 

 a possibility of finding new color patterns and races at different ele- 

 vations on the long major ridges of the Koolau Range, but also 

 on short spur ridges local races may be found at dift'erent elevations. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA LINEIPICTA, new subspecies 



Plate 2, Figure 8; Pl.\te 8, Figures 1-30 



Acltati>iclla siviftii Newcomb, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. Conch., vol. 22, p. 314, 

 pi. 58, figs. 5-56 (only), 1914. Figure 56 matches A. a. lemkei var. i (pi. 8, 

 fig. 23a) of area 68 which is an intermediate area between areas 67 and 70. 



The shell is an intermediate lined form existing between the lower 

 race of A. a. flavitincta (area 69) and the upper race of A. a. czvaensis 

 var. 3 (area 52). The first embryonic whorl of the holotype (pi. 2, 

 fig. 8) fawn color, remaining embryonic whorls upper third white, 

 lower two-thirds cream buff darkening to chamois ; first postembryonic 

 whorl upper third banded with white, lower portion cinnamon buff 

 on the first half of the whorl, last half pinkish buff lined with verona 

 brown, last two whorls light buff above the periphery, lined with 

 seal brown, last whorl below the periphery pale gull gray spirally 

 banded with seal brown ; impressed sutural band on first postembry- 

 onic whorl russet, on the remaining whorls light buff with a line of 

 tawny at the lower edge of the band ; lip and columella callus 

 vinaceous fawn. Length 17.6 mm., greater diameter 12.3 mm., spire 

 height 9.0 mm., number of whorls 6^.
