1698 Punctum conspectum Pasadenae

 openly umbilicated, and without spaced riblets, or with them very 

 slightly indicated." — Pilsbry, Nautilus 10:21. 



Type locality: — Pasadena, Cal. (Delos Arnold).

1700 Mopalia imporcata Cpr. 



Pilsbry, Nautilus 10:49, describes a color variety, larger than 

 the type, from San Pedro, Cal. (T. S. Oldroyd), as follows: — "The 

 single specimen measures 9 by 18% mm., and is somewhat more 

 elevated than the type; color pale olivaceous, white toward the 

 girdle, speckled on the ribs of lateral areas with brown, and with 

 a brown patch on each pleural tract. The teeth are very distinctly 

 thickened along the outer edge of the slits, as in the typical Cal- 

 listochitons. Sculpture typical."
