Genus Cyclodontina Beck, 1837 
Subgenus Burringtonia Parodiz, 1944 
Cyclodontina (Burringtonia) pantagruelina (Moricand) 
Helix (Cochlodina) pantagruelina Moricand, (Helix gargantua Férussac) Mém. 
Soc. Phys. Hist. Nat. Genéve, vol. 6, p. 542, 1833. 
Cyclodontina (Burringtonia) pantagruelina Parodiz, Comun. Zool. Mus. Hist. 
Nat. Montevideo, vol. 1, no. 11, p. 4, 1944. 
Type locality: Bahia, Brazil. 
Many specimens of this peculiar form, which is well known and 
needs no further comment, were examined (USNM, MCZ, CM, and 
MACN). 
I must, however, repeat my comments on its name combination, 
because Lothar Forcart (Nautilus, vol. 60, p. 58, 1946) has proposed 
the subgenus Pantagruelina, which is a synonym of Burringtonia, but 
has separated the synonym H. gargantua Férussac and placed it 
under Bulimus odontostoma Sowerby (type of Odontostomus), a quite 
different species. I discussed this form in 1944; Burrington Baker 
(Nautilus, vol. 60, p. 196, 1947) has given further notes on the status 
of H. gargantua. 
Subfamily Orthalicinae 
Genus Orthalicus Beck, 1837 
Orthalicus phlogerus (d’Orbigny) 
Helix phlogera d’Orbigny, Mag. Zool., vol. 5, p. 8, 1835. 
Orthalicus phlogerus Beck, Index molluscorum, p. 59, 1837. 
Oxystyla phlogera Pilsbry, Manual of conchology, ser. 2, vol. 12, 1899. 
Type locality: Mision San Javier, province Chiquitos, Bolivia 
(very probably it is in the region east of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, 
between the Rio Grande and the Rio San Miguel). 
It is the most southern species of the genus, rare and infrequent in 
museum collections. It has a curious similarity with Orthalicus 
varians Martens from Venezuela. Specimens in the U.S. National 
Museum (116141) are from the type locality. 
Orthalicus fulvescens Pfeiffer 
Orthalicus fulvescens Pfeiffer, Malakozool. Blatt. vol. 3, p. 187, 1856. 
Oxystyla fulvescens Pilsbry, Manual of conchology, ser. 2, vol. 12, p. 141, 1899. 
Type locality: Rio Hacha, Colombia. 
Numerous sets of specimens in the U.S. National Museum range 
from Mexico to Colombia. It is very probable that many albino 
forms belonging to different species have been grouped under the
