XXIX. — Descriptions of new Species of Land- Mvllusai from 

 New Guinea. By 11 UGH FuLTON. 



Paryphanta striata, sp. n. 



Sliell depressed-globose, thin, imperforate, dark olive-brown ; 

 sjnre only very slightly exserted ; scul{jture with fine but 

 distinct, close-set, oblique striaj ; suture rather deep ; nucleus 

 with somewhat decussated microscopic spiral striaj ; whorls 

 3^, moderately convex, rapidly increasing; aperture subovate, 

 very oblique ; peristome thin, simple. 



Alt. 5, maj. diam. 9 millim. 



Ilah. Arva River, British New Guinea (Emil Weiske). 



In placing this species under Paryphanta 1 am following 

 Dr. Otto von MullendorfF, who has described a closely allied 

 species as Paryphanta louisiadarnm, from Rossel Island. 

 The last-named has spiral sulci, which are not present in 

 P. striata. 



Paryphanta elegans, sp. n. 



Shell imperforate, depressed-ovate, almost fiat above, convex 

 below, dark broun, corneous, obliquely striated above and 

 below; at rather distant intervals the striaj are developed 

 into oblique rugose folds, on the second whorl the striae 

 appear (under the lens) to be indistinctly decussated by 

 spiral lines, sharply carinated at the periphery ; the peri- 

 ostracum is produced on the carina into triangular hair-like 

 projections ; whorls 3, almost flat, rapidly increasing ; aper- 

 ture very oblique, subovate ; peristome thin, not expanded.
