TEBENNOPHORUS. 457 



imagination of Rafmcsque, the same " habitat " where flourished 

 Trcmesia and Deroceras.* 



Ferussac repeats (1823) the description of Rafinesque, but never 

 had seen an individual of the genus. lie suggests tliat Limax Car- 

 oliniensis, Bosc, may belong to it, judging from the figure alone. 

 Gray, II. and A. Adams, and Miirch adopt the name of Philomycus, 

 on the sui)position that Rafinesque had before him a Tebctimphorus 

 when describing PhllomijcHS (in 1820). It may be he had, but as 

 he did not make it so appear I have preferred adopting the first 

 name evidently applying to it. 



Tebennopliorus Carolinensis. 



Body elongated, sub-cylindrical, posterior extremity obtuse; mantle fleshy, 

 covering the whole body ; foot extending a little beyond the mantle posteriorly.
