central line of claret brown, between the two bands, last whorl at and 

 below the periphery white, banded and lined with claret brown; lip 

 and columella callus light vinaceous fawn. Length 20.8 mm., greater 

 diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 11.2 mm. 



On 6 percent of the Wilder shells a gray lined color pattern occurs 

 (pi. 12, fig. 3a) ; embryonic whorls white; postembryonic whorls 

 white faintly banded above the edge of the periphery with a band 

 made up of lines of pale drab gray, which are so faint as to be almost 

 white on the penultimate, on the last half whorl the lines darkening to 

 hair brown and the ground color of the band shaded with pale olive 

 gray, the peripheral band of white shaded or faintly axially streaked 

 with pale olive gray and outlined above by two lines and below by 

 three lines of bone brown which become a single band on the last 

 half of the whorl, base white shaded with pale olive gray and spirally 

 lined with army brown. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA ROSEIPICTA, new subspecies 



Plate 3, Figure 7; Plate 12, Figures 4-4^ 



The form of the shell closely resembles that of A. a. heata. The 

 color patterns, however, tend toward pastel shades of pink and are 

 closer to those of A. a. alolia. The race seems to be intermediate 

 between A. a. heata and A. a. aloha. The embryonic whorls of the 

 holotype (pi. 3, fig 7) are pale pinkish cinnamon; postembryonic 

 whorls below the white impressed sutural and wide subsutural bands 

 are walnut brown faintly axially streaked or tinted with white and 

 a faint line of burnt umber just below the subsutural band, the ground 

 shading on the last whorl to vinaceous, russet, and kaiser brown on 

 the last half whorl with a faint band of white at the edge of the 

 periphery, which fades out on the last half whorl ; lip and columella 

 callus palei grayish vinaceous. Length 19.5 mm., greater diameter 

 13.0 mm., spire height 10. o mm., number of whorls 6g. 



Distribution, area 102 : North Kaukonahua-Poamoho Ridge, 

 type locality 286, elevation 1,950 feet, 1933, 1936; also locality 

 285-3, elevation 1,850 feet, 1933; 285-4, elevation 1,750-1,900 feet, 

 1936; all collected by Meinecke (figs. 5, ^a, p. 105). Also collected 

 by O. H. Emerson, BBM 103984, on "Spurs north-east of head-gates, 

 Kaukonahua," 1917. The head gates are probably in the North 

 Kaukonahua. Also collected by Wilder, BBM 50563, but the shells 

 have no original label and are marked Poamoho? by C. ]\L Cooke, Jr., 

 who surmised the locality to be somewhere in that region from the 

 arrangement of this lot in the Wilder collection.
