144 PAPUINA GUDEI. 



being a trifle more rounded in the co-type, and the colour 

 being much darker. The type is yellowish all over. The 

 co-type has the two last worls dark chestnut, which be- 

 comes gradually paler on the preceding whorls; from the 

 peripheral band downward the base is pale chestnut, 

 while the umbilicus is surrounded by a broad olivaceous 

 zone ; the peristome has a whitish band on its outer side, 

 reaching from the umbilicus to the suture, where it con- 

 tinues as a subsutural band along the two last whorls. In 

 the type this band is indicated only indistinctly. 



This species seems to be related to P. 2)seudoIahiiim/Pir., 

 but the spire is higher, the whorls are more tumid, and, 

 judging after the only specimen of P. pseudolabium at my 

 disposal, the peristome is thicker and more reflexed in 

 P. f/iulei. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to 

 Mr. G. K. Gude.

As far as I know this species is not yet recorded from 

 New Guinea. The shell of this specimen is yellowish-white, 

 the apex purplish-corneous, the peripheral band pale brown, 

 small, the peristome pale rosy.
