SUCCIKEA. 449 



Reeve indicates Calcutta as the habitat, but, as his localities are 

 notoriously unreliable, this must be accepted under reservation. 



I have only seen three specimens from the Khasi Hills, which 

 are in the Beddome collection. 



444. Succinea godivariana, sp. n. 



Shell minutely rimate, depressedly subovate, finely obliquely 

 striated, pale greenish corneous. Spire very short, apex minutely 

 papillate, suture deep. Whorls 2^, tumid, the last equalling about 

 f of the total length of the shell. Aperture oblique, obovate ; 

 peristome simple ; columella slightly thickened and reflexed, 

 covering the exceedingly minute umbilical slit ; outer and basal 

 margins regularly curved. 



Fig. 140. Succinea godivariana. 



Long. 3*5, diam. 2'5, alt. 1*5 mm. Apert. 2'5 mm. long, 

 1'75 inni. broad. 



Type in Mr. G. C. Leman's collection. 



Hob. India : Gorge Hill, Godivari (Beddome). 



Seven unnamed specimens in the Beddome collection now in 

 Mr. Lernan's possession proved on examination to pertain to 

 an undescribed form. 



The new apecies is the smallest Succinea known, and somewhat 

 resembles a miniature S. rutilans, but that species is twice as 

 large and differs besides in colour.
