CYPRJ^A coccinelioicles. 

 TAB. CCCLXXVin.— Fzo^. 1. 



Spec. Char. Ovate, spheeroidal, transversely 

 striated ; striae numerous, acute, not interrup- 

 ted ; aperture slightly arched, not contracted 

 in the middle. 



Strongly resembling; Cyprasa Coccinella, (Lamarck 

 Hist. Nat. Vll. p. 404. C. Europcea Leach. C. Pedicu- 

 lus Linn.) but rounder, and distinn:uished by the lip 

 which is more uniformly convex, and does not contract 

 the middle part of the aperture : like that recent species, 

 it is smooth when young ; its size is that of a pea. 



CYPR7EA retusa. 

 TAB. CCCLXXVIIL— JF'2^>^. 2. 



Spec. Char. Obovate, spheroidal, transversely 



striated; stria? elevated, uninterrupted, few, 



remote; aperture a little curved at the 



narrowest end. 



TIeadily distinguished at first sight from the last, and 



indeed every other analogous species by the paucity of 



its striee, which are seldom more than eight, assisted by 



its short, almost gibbose form : it is of the same size as 



C. coccinelloides. 



CYPRtEA Avellana. 

 TAB. CCCLXXVIII.— J^io^. 3. 

 Spec. Char. Obovate, spha^roidal, transversely 

 striated; striae numerous, remote, elevated, 

 interrupted by a longitudinal sulcus ; aper- 

 ture a little curved at the narrowest end. 

 Considerably larger than either of the preceding, being 

 as big as a hazel nut ; the thickened lip forms a slightly 

 projecting margin ; the striae that cross it are rather
