with a few axial streaks of light vinaceous cinnamon and a faint

ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA KAWAIIKI, new subspecies 



Plate 3, Figure 29; Plate 12, Figures 2(i, 26a 



The shell is similar in form to the elongate shell of A. a. paalaensis 

 var. I (pi. 12, fig. 22h) but has a lighter gray color pattern and 

 usually tends not to have the yellowish embryonic whorls of figure 22^. 

 The holotype (pi. 3, fig. 29) has the first embryonic whorl and a half 

 white, last embryonic whorl and a half pale cinnamon pink; first half 

 postembryonic whorl pale cinnamon pink axially streaked with light 

 pinkish cinnamon, next two postembryonic whorls pale drab gray 

 axially streaked with light cinnamon drab, last half whorl tinted with 

 wood brown, last whorl with a line of white below the impressed 

 sutural band, and a band of white below the periphery ; impressed 

 sutural band pale pinkish buff ; lip and columella callus vinaceous 

 buff. Length 19.9 mm., greater diameter 12.2 mm., spire height 11.6 

 mm., number of whorls 6f. 



Distribution, area 99: Kav^^aiiki-Kawainui Ridge, locality 350, 

 elevation 1,550-1,600 feet, i dextral ; 351, elevation 1,600 feet, 2 

 dextral 1933; the type lot collected in 1913 from the same ridge was 

 localized from the 1933 material, all Meinecke-coUected. Also col- 

 lected by Wilder, BBM 50506-50507, Thurston, BBM 130892 (figs. 5, 

 5a, p. 105). 



An extreme obese shell (pi. 12, fig. 26) has the embryonic whorls 

 light buff; postembryonic whorls pale drab gray faintly axially 

 streaked with drab gray, last whorl lined above and below the periphery 

 with white ; impressed sutural band white ; lip and columella callus 

 light pinkish cinnamon. Length 20.1 mm., greater diameter 13.7 mm., 

 spire height ii.i mm. 



The shell may be more conspicuously banded (pi. 12, fig. 26a) and 

 have darker embryonic whorls ; embryonic whorls warm buff ; last 

 two and a half postembryonic whorls drab gray, axially streaked on 

 the penultimate with light cinnamon drab, last whorl streaked with 

 drab and light drab, last two and a half whorls above the periphery 

 have a band of tilleul buff', below the periphery three bands of tilleul 

 buff ; lip and columella callus vinaceous buff". Length 19.0 mm., 

 greater diameter 12. i mm., spire height 10.8 mm. This form resembles 

 A. a. paalaensis var. i (pi. 12, fig. 22b).
