on the last whorl and a half with pale drab gray below the white 

 sutural band, above the white peripheral band banded with hair 

 brown, below the periphery base banded with hair brown and white ; 

 lip and columella callus vinaceous fawn. 



Lemke found a pink color pattern (pi. 12, fig. 12a) which looks 

 like A. a. roseipicta, the last whorl and a half vinaceous fawn, finely 

 axially streaked with light vinaceous fawn, on the last whorl at the 

 periphery a band of pale drab gray which fades out on the last fourth 

 whorl, base lined with light vinaceous fawn, a band of white in the 

 umbilical region. 



ACHATINELLA APEXFULVA POAMOHOENSIS, new subspecies 



Plate 3, Figures 5, 6; Plate 12, Figures 7-8 



The shell is similar in form to the higher race of A. a. roseipicta, 

 but differs in having a gray instead of a pink color pattern. The 

 embryonic whorls of the holotype (pi. 3, fig. 6) are white; post- 

 embryonic whorls white faintly banded on the penultimate with a 

 central band of pale drab gray, last whorl pale drab gray faintly 

 spirally lined with white ; lip and columella callus pale vinaceous fawn. 

 Length 19.7 mm., greater diameter 12.8 mm., spire height 9.6 mm., 

 number of whorls 6^. 



Distribution, area loi : North Kaukonahua-Poamoho Ridge, 

 type locality 284-2, elevation 1,700-1,800 feet; also locality 283-3, 

 elevation 1,750 feet, 5 dextral, i sinistral; 283-1, elevation 1,650- 

 1,750 feet, 6 dextral; 283-4, elevation 1,600-1,650 feet, 4 dextral; 

 284-1, elevation 1,550-1,600 feet, 4 dextral; 285-1, elevation 1,750- 

 1,800 feet, 13 dextral; 285-2, elevation 1,750-1,850 feet, i dextral; 

 all collected by Meinecke, 1933 (figs. 5, 50, p. 105). 



The usual form of the shell and the dark color pattern (pi. 12, 

 fig. 7) has the embryonic and first postembryonic whorls light buff, 

 penultimate whorl below the white sutural and subsutural bands pale 

 drab gray finely and faintly spirally lined and finely axially streaked 

 with benzo brown, ground of last whorl drab gray, deepening to light 

 drab on the last whorl, finely axially streaked with benzo brown, 

 below the periphery the color shading to saccardo's umber faintly 

 lined with benzo brown, in the umbilical region a patch of cream color ; 

 lip and columella callus tilleul buff, outer margin of lip avellaneous. 

 Length 19.3 mm., greater diameter 12.7 mm., spire height 10.8 mm. 



The usual yellow pattern and the obese form of the shell (pi. 12, 

 fig. ja) measures : Length 19.1 mm., greater diameter 13.0 mm., spire 

 height 9.5 mm. ; embryonic and postembryonic whorls light buff,
