166 STRAMONITA. 



less interrupted spiral red or chestnut revolving lines, obsoletely 

 striate, denticulate on the lip. Length, 40 mill. 



Gulf of Paria, Trinidad, W. I. . 

 Said to resemble P. mancinella, but with a sharper spire and 

 more decided striation. It has not been figured, nor have I 

 seen it. 



P. cocciNEA, Anton. 

 P. BicoNicA, Anton, 



Both said to belong to the P. armigera group ; not figured, 

 nor identified by subsequent writers. No locality given. 



Subgenus Stramonita, Sehum. 



P. Consul, Lam. PI. 49, figs. 74, 79. 



Yellowish, usually with narrow brown revolving lines ; aper- 

 ture orange color. Length, 2"5-.5 inches. 



PJiilippines. 



Reeve has attempted to show distinctive characters in a large 

 form with short tubercles, and has calle^i it P. gigantea (fig. 79). 

 I have before me a series which completel}- connects this form, 

 however, with the sharply tuberculate P. Consul. 



P, LUTEOSTOMA, Chemu. PI. 49, figs. 77, 78, 81. 



Yellowish brown, mottled or longitudinally waved with dark 



chocolate ; aperture yellow or orange within, sometimes banded 



with brown lines. Length, l*.5-2"25 inches. 



Loo Choo ; Japan. 



The undulatory character of the tubercles reminds one of P. 

 hippocastaneum ; it is distinguished from that species, however, 

 by its yellow mouth and thin outer lip. 



P. Gapensis., Petit, said to have been coll('Ct«H] by M, Verreaux, 

 at Cape of Good Hope, is evidently the same species ; the figure 

 which I copy, does not agree well in coloring with the descrip- 

 tion. 

 P. RUSTicA, Lam. PI. 49, figs. 75, 76. 



White, marbled with purplish brown oi- red ; aperture flesh- 

 color or yellowish. Length, 1-6-2 inches. 



Philippines (Cuming) ; Ind. Api((na,Poli//iesiu (Pease). 



P. marmorata, Pease (fig. 76). appears to be the same species.
