TEBENNOPHORUS. 457 



imagination of Rafincsqnc, the same " habitat " where flourished 

 Tremcsia and Deroceras* 



Ferussac repeats (1823) the description of Rafmcsque, but never 

 liad seen an individual of the genus. He suggests that Limax Car- 

 u/iiiiciisis, Bosc, may belong to it, judging from the figure alone, 

 (iray, II. and A. Adams, and Murch adopt the name o? Philomr/cus, 

 on the supposition that Rafincsque had before him a Tebentiophorus 

 when describing Philoniijcus (in 1820). It may be he had, but as 

 he did not make it so appear I have preferred adopting the first 

 name evidently applying to it. 



Tebennophorus Carolinensis. 



Body elongated, sub-cylindrical, posterior extremity obtuse; mantle fleshy, 

 covering the whole body ; foot extending a little beyond the mantle posteriorly.
