NO. I ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA DIXON WELCH I5I 



vinaceous fawn. Length 19.6 mm., greater diameter 13. i mm., spire 

 height 10.8 mm. 



A narrow dextral and Hght bluish pattern (pi. 10, fig. 25c) has 

 the first half postembryonic whorl pale ochraceous salmon, axially 

 streaked with pale vinaceous fawn, next whorl and a half light 

 neutral gray spirally lined and streaked with pale gull gray, on the 

 last half whorl ground color pallid neutral gray almost covered over 

 with closely set axial streaks of light purplish gray and purplish gray; 

 impressed sutural band cinnamon, darkening to mikado brown on the 

 last whorl. Length 19.8 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., spire height 

 I I.I mm. 



One specimen was found with a pinkish pattern (pi. 10, fig. 25^), 

 the last whorl and a half seashell pink streaked and spirally lined and 

 banded with light mouse gray. This color pattern is found in lots of 

 shells collected by Gulick, Thurston, and others. Possibly there is 

 an intermediate region between areas 89 and 93 where A. a. sutura- 

 fitsca var. 2 intergrades with A. a. ccrvixnivca. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA SUTURALBA, new subspecies 



Pi_\TE 3, Figure 12; Plate 10, Figures 29, 29a 



Achatinella apcxfulva apicata (Newcomb) Pfeiffer, Pilsbry and Cooke, Man. 

 Conch., vol. 22, p. 325, pi. 60, fig. 46 (only), 1914. 



The form resembles A. a. suturafusca but differs in usually having 

 a white sutural band instead of a brown sutural band. Gulick collected 

 this form, but his lot (ANSP) contains a mixture of A. a. siitura- 

 fusca var, 2 and A. a. suturalba. His material is probably a mixture 

 of shells from areas 89 and 90 together with some intermediate 

 localities between these two areas. 



The embryonic whorls of the holotype (pi. 3, fig. 12) ochraceous 

 tawny ; first two postembryonic whorls axially streaked with pallid 

 mouse gray, white, deep quaker drab, and quaker drab, last whorl 

 axially streaked with dark vinaceous drab, pale drab gray, and on the 

 last fourth of the whorl deep brownish drab ; lip and columella callus 

 white or faintly tinged with a pinkish shade, possibly pale vinaceous 

 fawn. Length 19.4 mm., greater diameter 13.2 mm., spire height 

 10.8 mm., number of whorls 6^^.
