NO. I ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA DIXON — WELCH ' l6l 



A slightly more obese form (pi. 12, fig. 2) has a similar pattern to 

 plate 2, figure 31 except that it is banded on the last whorl with white 

 like the lectotype. Length 19.2 mm., greater diameter 13.5 mm., spire 

 height 9.5 mm. A narrow specimen (pi. 12, fig. 2a) shows the white 

 form of the shell occurring on 13 percent of the shells ; entire shell 

 white, last whorl with lines slightly darker than the ground color ; 

 outer margin of the lip ochraceous tawny, remainder of lip and 

 columella callus white. Length 18.9 mm., greater diameter 11.8 mm., 

 spire height lo.o mm.

Area 100?: Kaukonahua, Wilder, BBM 50559-50560; North 

 Kaukonahua Stream, Thurston, BBM 103741 (fig. 50, p. 105). This 

 form of aloha has an entirely different color pattern from that of typi- 

 cal aloha but is found as a rare pattern mixed with typical aloha. It is 

 possible that this is a separate race occurring above or below the 

 typical aloha area. Future collecting will have to determine this point. 

 Pilsbry considered this variety to be a mutation of aloha. (See above 

 description of A. a. aloha, p. 160). 



The usual form and color pattern (pi. 2, fig. 2)^) has white 

 embryonic whorls ; postembryonic whorls above the periphery white, 

 banded on the last two and a half whorls just above the periphery with 

 claret brown, lined on the last half of the penultimate and the first 

 half of the last whorl below the white subsutural band with a line 

 of clay color, which widens and darkens to a band of claret brown 

 on the last half whorl, below this a line of claret brown on the last 

 whorl, peripheral band on last whorl white, with a central line of 

 claret brown on the last half whorl, base claret brown lined with 

 white within and just without the aperture; impressed sutural band 

 white ; lip and columella callus light vinaceous fawn. Length 18.9 mm., 

 greater diameter 13. i mm., spire height 9.9 mm., number of 

 whorls 6-J, 



This form may be more heavily banded with claret brown so that 

 the last whorl is almost solid claret brown and lined or banded with 

 white. 



The lightest color pattern and elongate form (pi. 12, fig. 3) is a 

 white shell banded just above the edge of the periphery with two 

 bands of claret brown on the last two whorls, on the last whorl a
