SCARABUS.— Plate II. 



Species 14. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Scarabus leopardus. Scar, testa late ovatd, compres- 

 siusculd, fulvescente, castaneo sparsim marmorald, 

 spird abbreviato-acuminatd, varicibus subindistinctis, 

 anfractibus novem ad decern, subcorrugatis ; aperturd 

 subanguste ovatd, curvatd, labro columellari late ap- 

 presse coniorto. 



The leopard Scarabus. Shell broadly ovate, rather 

 compressed, fulvous, sparingly marbled with chest- 

 nut, spire shortly acuminated, varices rather indistinct, 

 whorls nine to ten, slightly wrinkled ; aperture rather 

 narrowly ovate, curved, columellar lip broadly ap- 

 pressly contorted. 



Hab. ? 



This species, which Mr. Cuming has for some time 

 separated in his cabinet from the rest, is distinguished by 

 a peculiar curvature of the aperture, arising from the 

 columellar lip being more than usually broadly appressly 

 reflected, giving a kind of angular contortion to this corner 

 of the aperture. The varices are less distinctly developed, 

 and the colouring is more sparingly distributed. 



Species 15. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Scarabus Petiverianus. Soar, testa subrotundato- 

 ovatd, albidd, castaneo dense nebulatd, anfractibus no- 

 vem, lavigatis ; aperturd ovatd, castaneo Uncari-macu- 

 laid. 



Petiver's Scarabus. Shell somewhat rotundately ovate, 

 whitish, densely clouded with chestnut, whorls nine, 

 smooth ; aperture ovate, linearly spotted with chest- 

 nut.

Hah. Island of Siquijor, Philippines (in the woods and 

 stones) ; Cuming. 



A species of well-marked but simple character, rather 

 rotundate in form. 



Species 16. (Mus. Cuming.) 



.Scarabus Macgillivrayi. Scar, testa pyramidali- 

 ovatd, sordide purpurea, immacidatd, varicibus albidis, 

 anfractibus octo, lavigatis ; aperturd ovatd. 



Macgillivray's Scarabus. Shell pyramidally ovate 

 dull purple, unspotted, varices white, whorls eight, 

 smooth ; aperture ovate.

Hab. Isle of Aneiteum, New Hebrides ; Macgillivray. 



It appears to me somewhat doubtful whether this is not 

 a variety of S. semisulcalus. 



Species 17. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Scarabus undatus. Scar, testa subquadrato-ovatd, sor- 

 dide fused, castaneo obscure Icutiginosd, spird brevi, an- 

 fractibus octo ad novem, longitudinaliter midato-corru- 

 gatis ; aperturd quadrato-ovatd, superne obscure angu- 

 lato-emarginatd, dentibus prominentibus. 



The waved Scarabus. Shell somewhat squarely ovate, 

 dull-brown, obscurely freckled with chestnut, spire 

 short, whorls eight to nine, longitudinally wave- 

 wrinkled ; aperture squarely ovate, faintly angularly 

 notched at the upper part, teeth prominent.

 f. 6. 



Hab. ? 



A dull, short, squarely ovate species, sculptured with 

 waved wrinkle-like striae, in which the teeth of the body- 

 whorl are rather prominently developed. 



Species 18. (Mus. Cuming.) 



Scarabus nux. Scar, testa subabbreviato-ovatd, obesius- 

 aihi, pitrpureo-fuscd, castaneo obscure maculatd, an-

 what stout, purple-brown, obscurely spotted with

 with the teeth prominently twisted, columellar lip 

 angularly reflected. 



Hab. ? 



A purple-brown chestnut mottled species, of a shortly 

 ovate form, with rather narrow curved aperture, angularly 

 reflected below the columella, while the teeth of the body- 

 whorl are rather conspicuously twisted.
