 Jlab. ChanchamayOj Peru. 



I am unable to find that any species at all approaching 

 this in size and sculpture has yet been recorded from Peru. 



Glandina venezuelensis, sp. n. (Fig. 10.) 



Shell somewhat acuminately fusiform, light reddish brown ; 

 whorls 7, the first four smooth, polished, the remainder 

 marked witli coarse, closely set, irregular, transverse riblets 

 crossed by fine, wavy, spiral striae ; sutures impressed, crenu- 

 late ; columella elongate, descending in an oblique curve; 

 peristome thin ; aperture elongately, inversely auriform. 



Alt. 54, diam. maj. 21 mm. 



Aperture: alt. 28, diam. 10 mm. 



Hah. Merida, Venezuela. 



Allied to G. dtcussata, Desh., from Mexico and Texas ; the 

 spiral sculpture in the present species is, however, finer, and 

 the transverse riblets are coarser, it is also of a larger size, 

 the aperture is broader and the columella is less twisted 

 above and is longer and straighter than is the case with 

 G. decussata. 



Solaropsis venezuelensis, sp. n. (Fig. 12.) 



Shell depressed, thin, reddish horn-colour, painted with 

 three narrow, interrupted, spiral bands and numerous trans- 

 verse flame-markings of reddish purple ; whorls 4^, closely 

 hispid ; sutures deeply impressed ; umbilicus narrow and 

 deep; aperture rather obliquely lunate; peristome reflexed, 

 yellowish white, margins somewhat distant ; columella de- 

 scending obliquely and i-eflexed, thus partly concealing the 

 umbilicus. 



Alt. 7*25, diam. maj. 18*5, diam. min. 12 mm. 



Aperture : alt. 7, diam. 6'5 mm. 



Hah. Merida, Venezuela. 



Epiphragmophora anceyana, sp. n. (Figs. 14 A, 14 B.) 



Shell moderately solid, discoidal, depressed, white, bearing 

 traces of having been encircled by three narrow chestnut 

 bands ; whorls 4|-, striate, with fine lines of growth, the last 

 whorl descending somewhat abruptly ; sutures impressed, 

 chalky white; umbilicus wide, open, deep; aperture sub- 

 circular ; peristome thickened, dilated, slightly reflexed, the 

 margins joined by a thick parietal callus. 



Alt. 12, diam. maj. 25, diam. min. 20-5 mm.
