64 JAPANESE MOLLU8K8, FOSSARID^. 



Lacuna stenotomorpha Pilsbry. PI. YIII, fig. .'5. 



Shell small, smooth, yellow, with a white band at periphery and' 

 another below the suture ; depressed, oblique, with large, open, ex- 

 cavated white umbilicus. Spire low, last whorl very rapidly enlarg- 

 ing, descending in front, rounded at periphery. Aperture ovate, 

 oblique, small ; outer lip well curved, inner lip nearly straight. 

 Umbilicus deep, encircled by an acute keel, excavated on its inner 

 surface. Alt. 4, diam. 4 mm. ; aperture, oblique alt. 3, width 2 mm. 



Tokyo Harbor (Stearns). 



In this species the form approaches Stenotis laxata. The last 

 whorl is marked off from those preceding by a dark line, probably 

 indicating the end of the larval stage. This is visible in the two- 

 other species herein described, but I do not notice it in the North 

 Atlantic or Californian Lacunas. This feature may indicate a sect- 

 ion or subgenus, which may be called Sublacuna.
