98 HELIX-EUHADRA. 



H. HERRMANNSENI Pfeiflfer. PL 37, figs 38, 39, 40 ; pi. 31, figs. 33, 



34. 



Shell depressed, umbilicated, rather strong and solid, covered 

 with a thin straw-colored epidermis. Surface obliquely striate, and 

 covered with microscopic close spiral strise. Spire low-conoidal ; 

 suture impressed ; whorls 5, a little convex, the last one decidedly 

 deflexed in front. Aperture very oblique, rounded, white inside ; 

 peristome white, expanded all around, rather broadly reflexed on 

 the basal and columellar margins. Umbilicus funnel-shaped, not 

 very deeply penetrating, showing only two whorls. 



Alt. 19, greater diam. 29 mill. 



Alt. 18, greater diam. 33 mill.

H. Koreana PFR. Zeitschr. f. Mai. 1850, p. 72 (supposed to be 

 preoc.). H. Herrmannseni PFR., Zeitschr. f. Mai. 1852, p. 63 ; Mon. 

 Hi, p. 223 ; Conchyl. Cab., p. 347, t. 134, f. 5, 6. H. connivens var. 

 HEEVE, Conch. Icon., f. 406. 



This shell is larger than H. connivens, with more oblique aperture, 

 more expanded lip (which is not labiate within), and much less pro- 

 foundly penetrating umbilicus. The figures on pi. 31 are colored 

 much too brightly, and entirely incorrectly. Those on pi. 37 are 

 drawn and colored from the specimen described above. 



H. EGA Crosse. PL 30, figs. 12, 13. 



Shell openly umbilicated, orbicular, a little lens-shaped, subde- 

 pressed, rather thin, nearly translucent, marked with slightly oblique, 

 irregular, strongly-marked rough strise. General color fawn-brown. 

 Spire depressed, short, little exserted and terminating in a rather 

 obtuse apex. Suture well marked. Whorls 6, flattened, the embry- 

 onic 1 violet-white; last whorl descending, presenting a narrow 

 blackish-brown band a little above the periphery, and rather a sharp 

 carina; base quite convex, noticeably inflated. Umbilicus quite 

 wide, deeply penetrating, and lined by a blackish-brown band. 

 Aperture oblique, of a rounded semi-lunar form, livid whitish-violet, 

 shining and almost iridescent inside, and showing the blackish band 

 to the edge of the lip. Peristome reflexed, violet-brown ; margins 

 subconverging, the columellar margin broader at its insertion, and 

 colored by the umbilical dark band ; outer margin narrower at its 

 upper insertion. (Crse.) Alt. 16, greater diam. 37, lesser 31 mill.
