TORNATINID®, RINGICULID®. 233 
Tornatina parviplica Dau, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., xxv, no. 9, 
p. 115, fig. 8 (Oct., 1894). 
Retusa [ Coleophysis] ErFusA Monts. (Il Naturaliste Siciliano, 
ix, p. 188, 1890) is an insufficiently described form from Villa- 
franca. 
Rerusa ovata Jeffreys (Vol. xv, p. 232). See Norman, Ann. 
Mag. N. H. (6), vi, p. 64, for a discussion of the synonymy and 
range. 
Buiua cReETICA Forbes.  B. testa globosa, alba, leevigata, spira 
manifesta, umbilicata, margine rotundata; apertura superne con- 
tracta, inferne dilatata; columella perforata. Long ‘1 une. Crete, 
in 119 fms. (Capt. Graves, 1843). (Forbes, in Rep. Agean Invert., 
Rep. Brit. Asso. Adv. Sci. for 1843, p. 188, 1844. 
An unrecognized form, perhaps belonging to Retusa or Cylichna. 
Acrostemma Cossmann, 1895. 
Ess. Pal. Comp., p. 101. Type Bulla coronata Lam., Eocene. 
The recent B. striatula Forbes (Vol. xv, p. 212) is placed in this 
group, which is ranged as a subgenus under Roxania by Cossmann. 
Family RINGICULID:. 
Genus RINGICULA (Vol. xv, p. 594). 
Cossmann substitutes Ringiculella Sacco, 1892, type R. awriculata 
for Ringiculina Monts., 1884, but the latter should, I believe, be re- 
tained, if the group is worth a name. 
Genus PUGNUS Hedley, 1896. 
Pugnus HEDLEY, Records of the Australian Museum, ii, no. 7, p. 
106. 
By its thrice folded columella, anterior canal, thickened outer lip, 
and sculpture of spiral grooves crossed by transverse strize, this very 
distinct genus takes a place in the family Ringiculide. From the 
only other surviving genus, Ringicula, Pugnus is separated by its 
involute shell and buried spire. In the shortness of the spire the 
Cretaceous fossil Ave//ana occupies a position intermediate between 
these two. Its contour is, however, more globose, and those subor- 
dinate groups which agree with Pugnus in possessing a smooth lip, 
appear to differ by having one columella plication only. (Hedley).
