Greece and Adjacent Islands. 



H. ferussaci Christ, et Jan, and H. spiriplana Desh. are synonyms. 

 Bourguignat has described as species H. eucineta, H. euchromia, and 

 H. eupcecilia; they are not even entitled to varietal rank. If. 

 pseudoparnassia Mousson is also a synonym. 



Var. PARNASSIA Roth. PL 38. figs. 74, 75. 



Globose conic, with obtuse apex ; last whorl not widened toward 

 aperture, strongly and abruptly deflected anteriorly ; aperture round- 

 oval, slightly thickened at base, distinctly toothed ; extremities of 

 peristome approaching; no parietal callus. Diam. 30 mill. 



Parnassus. 

 Var. OET^E Kobelt. 



A form with the depressed and widened body-whorl of typical 

 H. codringtoni, but not larger than var. parnassia. Diam. 36 mill. 



Mi. Ito (the ancient Oeta.) 



Scarcely distinct from the type. 



Var. AETOLICA Boettger. 



Smaller than the type generally openly rimate; quadrifasciate, 

 the upper bandjisually obsolete; spire short, exactly conical; whorls 

 greatly depressed. Diam. 33-34, alt. 18-20 mill. 



Veluchi Mis., Aeiolia. 



A white unicolored form is also figured (fig. 73.) The species is 

 like all Macularice, variable in color pattern and size ; and in the 

 Grecian peninsula occupies the place of H. alonensis in the Iberian.
