Imperforate, globose, rather thin ; apex obtuse, white ; spire semi- 

 globose, suture moderate. Whorls 4J, nearly flat, the last inflated, 

 pale buff, ornamented with close brown interrupted lines. Colu- 

 mella nearly straight, wide, deeply entering. Aperture rounded- 

 lunar ; peristome subthickened, forming an obtuse angle with the 

 columella. (P/r.) Alt. 28, diam. 37 mill.

Semper regards this as probably a variety of C. metaformis. 



C. FULIGINATA Martens. Unfigured. 



Shell conic-globose, lightly striatulate, smoky-brown, hydroph- 

 anous, having two pale yellow zones, one just above, the other 

 below the suture, the last visible upon the last whorl only, and 

 small, irregular, shining brown-black spots ; spire conical, apex 

 obtuse ; whorls 5, joined by a superficial suture, the last rounded, 

 somewhat descending in front. Aperture oblique, square-rounded, 

 palate cserulescent, parietal wall brown-black ; peristome narrowly 

 reflexed, thickened, bluish-white, outwardly rubescent ; columellar 

 margin rather oblique, nearly straightened, (v. Mart.} 



Alt. 25, greater diam. 26, lesser 23 mill. ; aperture, oblique alt. 

 18, width including peristome 16 mill. 



Luzon, Philippines. 



Cochlostyla fuliginata M.A.KT. in Mai. Bl. xxi, p. 46, 1873. v.

In general form it reminds one of C. balteata and orbitula Sowb., 

 but the columellar margin is more oblique than in the first, and 

 longer than in the latter of these two ; the spire is more pointed 

 above than in either of the species named, so that this snail stands 

 between these and Cochlostyla (f) viridis. The coloring, however, 

 is more that of the group Orthostylus, being similar, for instance, to 

 that of C. rufogastra. (Mart.)
