above and below the periphery with light mouse gray lined with white ; 

 impressed sutural band mouse gray with a line of verona brown along 

 the upper edge ; lip and columella callus pale vinaceous fawn. Length 

 19.0 mm., greater diameter 11.7 mm., spire height lo.o mm. 



A dark color pattern and an elongate shell (pi. 9, fig. 25a) measures : 

 Length 19.4 mm., greater diameter 12. i mm., spire height ii.o mm. 

 The postembryonic whorls are hair brown axially streaked with benzo 

 brown, and spirally lined with pale pinkish cinnamon or white faintly 

 shaded with pallid mouse gray ; on the last half whorl the light lines 

 or bands are pallid mouse gray. 



A sinistral shell (pi. 9, fig. 256) resembles A. a. versicolor (pi. 9, 

 fig. 22). The postembryonic whorls below the white subsutural band 

 are benzo brown axially streaked with light drab, last whorl just above 

 and all below the periphery wood brown axially streaked and spirally 

 lined with tilleul buff. The shell may have a lined pattern (pi. 9, 

 fig. 24) ; embryonic whorls naples yellow, lined with white on the last 

 half whorl; postembryonic whorls lined with natal brown; lip and 

 columella callus white, with the outer edge light vinaceous fawn. 

 The lightest color pattern and an obese dextral (pi. 9, fig. 24a) 

 measures : Length 18.0 mm., greater diameter 13.2 mm., spire height 

 9.6 mm. Postembryonic whorls white, banded at the suture and just 

 above the edge of the periphery with light drab, base drab gray, 

 lined with white. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA WAHIAWA, new subspecies 



Plate 2, Figure 36; Plate ii, Figures i-ib 



Achatinella swiftii Newcomb, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. Conch., vol. 22, pp. 312, 

 313, pi. 58, fig. 8; pi. 59, fig. 2a (only), 1914. 



Gulick called this race of shells A. pica. Pilsbry and Cooke correctly 

 consider the name pica a synonym of A. a. apexfulva. The form is 

 a distinct lowland one which probably occurred at some low elevation 

 below areas 90 and 91?? (fig. 5a, p. 105). A. a. wahiawa resembles 

 A. a. coniformis but differs in usually being more strongly axially 

 streaked, lacking pronounced fine spiral lines, and having white 

 embryonic whorls. The shell is usually dextral. 



The holotype (pi. 2, fig. 36) has white embryonic whorls darkening 

 to pale pinkish buff on the last embryonic whorl ; the first two and 

 three-fourths postembryonic whorls vinaceous buff axially streaked 

 with rood's brown, last whorl avellaneous axially streaked and spirally 

 banded and lined with benzo brown and cameo brown; impressed 

 sutural band mikado brown darkening on the last half whorl to walnut
