FAMILY LYMN^EID^E 65 



Genus Erinna Adams. 

 Shell small, with a short spire, a large final whorl ; the aperture 

 with a continuous peristome which passes behind a broad somewhat 

 excavated pillar ; axis imperforate and the pillar not plicate. Type 

 E. newcombi Adams. Hawaiian. 



Incertce sedis. 



Velutinopsis Sandberger. Shell almost planorboid, with few, 

 rounded, rapidly increasing whorls ; the aperture simple, suborbicular, 

 the peristome sharp, simple, not reflected ; the pillar lip broad, not 

 appressed; the axis umbilicate. Type Z. velutina Deshayes. Plio- 

 cene of the Crimea. 



Tanousia Bourguignat. Shell small ovate conic, closely and almost 

 involutely coiled ; the last whorl inflated, subcarinate behind, the aper- 

 ture contracted. Type Z. zrmanjce Brusina. Pleistocene of Dalmatia. 

 The group was named Sandria by Brusina in \2&$,jide Westerlund. 



Zagrabica Brusina. Shell ventricose, with a short acute spire and 

 few rounded whorls, rugose, umbilicate, the last whorl ample, with a 

 rotund transverse aperture, and continuous peristome appressed on the 

 columellar margin ; the outer lip simple. The type is a Pleistocene 

 fossil. A recent form from the Caspian has been referred to this group 

 by Dybowski, under the name of Z. brusiniana. 



I have not seen specimens, but the description reads as if the shell 

 might be a member of the Radix group which has been modified by 

 life in brackish water.
