H. PATRICIA Pfeiffer. PI. 60, fig. 6. 



Shell imperforate, subdepressed, solid, carinated, above obliquely 

 striated and irregularly malleated ; white (when denuded of epi- 

 dermis, the color of which is unknown). Spire convex, apex 

 obtuse ; suture linear ; whorls 4?, regularly increasing, a little 

 convex, the last more convex above, deflexed in front ; less convex 

 below the prominent, acute keel, sculptured with spiral lirse and 

 radiating folds. Aperture diagonal, rounded-rhomboidal ; peristome 

 white, shining, expanded and shortly reflexed, the margins joined by 

 a white callus, columellar margin entering, sloping, widened and 

 flattened. (P/V.) Alt. 35, greater diam. 63, lesser 55 mill. 



Habitat unknown.

H. SULCOCINCTA Martens. PL 59, figs. 39, 40, 41. 



Shell imperforate, subdepressed, rather solid, striatulate, having 

 reticulating wrinkles and malleations, encircled with a rather acute 

 keel at the circumference and several quite obtuse, not conspicuous, 

 encircling carinse on the base ; purple-brown ; spire shortly conoid, 

 obtuse ; whorls 4i scarcely convex, the last a little more convex be- 

 low than above, shortly descending in front ; aperture very oblique, 

 oblong-rounded, shining bluish inside ; peristome narrowly expanded, 

 thin, orange-yellow ; margins disjoined ; columellar margin very 

 oblique, dilated, thickened, forming a distinct angle where it joins 

 the basal margin, and spreading in a callus over the umbilical tract.

Cochlostyla sulcocincta MART. Monatsber. Berl. Akad. April 1864, 

 p. 270. Helix (Phania) sulcocincta MARTENS, Preuss. Exped. nach 

 Ostas., ZooL, Landschnecken, p. 327, t. 18, f. 1. 



Allied to H. pyrostoma ; but the lip is narrower and differently 

 colored, and the last whorl descends less at the suture. Described 

 from a single specimen. I am inclined to believe it a variety of the 

 H. pyrostoma.
