l66 SVKES : ON CLAUSILIA VESPA, GOULD, AND ITS ALLIES. 



" T. solida, sinislrorsa, vespwformis, deflecta, Icevis, intense 



rufa ; anfr 6, anteriori raptim attenuate), proximo corpulento 



apicalibus cito descrescentibns ; sutura impressa, vix marginata ; 



apertura ovata; columella biplicata ; peritretnate late reflexo, rufo." 



The description will not fit Mr. Stoliczka's shell, as in this latter 



the colour is not " intense rufa" the apex is blunt not " anfr 



apicalibus cito descrescentibns," i.e., resembles the end of a cylinder 



rather than the point of a cone, no whorl can be said to be 



u corpulentus, v the suture is not " vix marginata" but simple, the 



aperture is not "ovata" but subovate, the lip is not " late reflexus" 



or " rufus" 



On the other hand, so far as it goes, Gould's description does fit 

 the Hungerford shell, which is not very blunt in the apex like the 

 others of the Oospira section, which is a dusky red, like philippiana, 

 and has a very thick and expanded dark lip. 



I therefore consider Mr. Stoliczka's shell as not vespa ; it is, as 

 far as I know, an undescribed species, and I adopt his description 

 of it and call it stoliczkana. (J. A. S. B., vol. xli., p. 209, pi. ix., f. 15.) 



Clausilia (Oospira) stoliczkana, sp. nov. 



CI. testa ovato-cylindracea, ad apicetn obtusa, albida, medio 

 subinflata, ultimo anfractu sensim attenuata, hand rimata, fusco 

 castanea ; anfraclibus sex, convexiusculis, sutura simplicijunctis, 

 transversim oblique et confertissime striolatis ; apertura subovaia, 

 postice rotunda te subangulata, antice late sub-effusa, intus violaceo- 

 rufa, peritremate mod ice expanso, interno oblique fere recto, libero ; 

 lamelhc sub-parallelce, fusees, ad marginem attingentes ; plicce 

 palatales 8-9, suprema {principalis) longa, alterec breviores et 

 inter se valde inaequales. Alt. 25 mitlim, lat. 7 millim. Apert.

 I now redescribe the 



C. vespa, Gould. 

 CI. testa solida, sinislrorsa, fusiformis, medio injlata, ape* 

 obtusiuscula, subtile et indistincte decussata, hand nitida, intense 

 rufa, ad apicem pallidior ; anfr 6, apicales cito descrescentes. 

 penultimus et ante pen ultimus inflati, corpulenti ; sutura impressa 

 vix marginata ; apertura ovata, peritremate late et valde reflexo, 

 rufo : lamella superior valida, obliqua, rufa, fere ad marginem 

 attingens, I. inferior valida rufa subparallela ; plica palatales 

 5-6, suprema (principalis) longa, secunda brevior, descendens, 

 reliquce panne, subaequales descendentes. All. 27 millim., lat. 

 8 millim. Apert. alt. 7 millim., lat. 5 J, millim.
