GUnE : ON CULOEITIS. 109 



bristles (Fig. 7c) ; spire depressed, apex obtuse, suture deep, channelled. 

 Whorls 4^, increasing regularly, . tumid, subangulated round the 

 narrow but deep umbilicus ; last whorl not descending. Aperture 

 lunate, little oblique, margins convergent. Peristome fuscous, thin, 

 little expanded ; upper and outer margins arcuate ; basal straightened, 

 forming a slight angle with the columellar margin, which ascends 

 obliquely, is reflexed, and triangularly dilated, impinging upon the 

 umbilicus. Diam. maj. 10*5, min. 9 mm.; alt. 6 mm. 



Hah. — Cardwell, Queensland. 



Type in Colonel Beddome's collection. 



A pretty little species, unlike any 1 have seen from that region, 

 but evidently belonging to the group of C brevipila. This and the 

 preceding species were received with Brazier's MS. names, which 

 I have adopted, as specimens may have been distributed to other 

 collectors under those names. 



Chloeitis Mansonensis, n.sp. PI. XIII, Figs. 9-93. 



Shell moderately umbilicated, thin, translucent, shining, corneous, 

 rather evenly and distantly ribbed above and at the side, slightly 

 striated below, the striae decu-ssated by distant shallow spiral sulci. 

 Spire strongly depressed, apex obtuse, suture rather deep. Whorls 

 4|-, a little flattened above and below, rounded at the periphery ; 

 obtusely angulated round the moderate, deep umbilicus ; last whorl 

 descending a little, and slightly deflexed in front, a little dilated 

 towards the mouth. Aperture rotundate-lunate, oblique; margins con- 

 vergent ; peristome thin, not thickened, slightly expanded, columellar 

 margin slightly dilated above and impinging upon the umbilicus. 

 Diam. maj. 16, min. 13"5mm. ; alt. 8 mm. 



Hah.— Tonkin. 



Type in my collection. 



From Mr. Fruhstorfer I received this shell with the MS. name 

 ^^Mansonensis, Mlldif.," but as it does not appear to have been 

 published I venture to describe and figure it. The species is allied 

 to C. insularis, but that shell possesses 6J whorls, and measures 

 18 mm. It is also more depressed in the spire, while it lacks the 

 riblets of the new species. 



Chloeitis etjfofasciata, n.sp. PI. XIII, Figs. 8-8c. 



Shell umbilicated, discoid, fragile, translucent, pale corneous, with 

 a narrow, red, supra-peripheral band, finely and regularly striated, 

 very minutely and densely granulated, the granules arranged in 

 quincunx ( Fig. 8c) ; spire plane, suture impressed. Whorls 4, 

 convex above, obtusely angulated above the periphery, obliquely 

 sloping and convex below, distinctly angulated round the funnel-shaped 

 umbilicus ; last whorl slightly descending in front, not deflexed. 

 Aperture securiform, scarcely oblique ; margins a little convergent, 

 united by a thin callus. Peristome thin, acute, white, a little 

 expanded ; upper margin nearly straight, outer strongly curved, basal 

 nearly straight, forming an angle with the columellar margin, which 

 is reflexed, triangularly dilated, and impinges slightly upon the 

 umbilicus. Diam. maj. 15, min. 12 mm.; alt. 7 mm.
