This group is distributed on all the islands. Most of the 

 species are found only on dead leaves and twigs. 

 a. Parietal lamella with fine spine-like serrations. 



b. Adult shells with less than 7 whorls, and with the 

 diameter more than 50 per cent of the length. 



c. Parietal lamella of adult shells moderately de- 

 veloped, more than 0.1 mm. in height, outlines 

 of spire convex. 



d. Adult shells more than 2.5 mm. in length ; 

 parietal lamella serrate, the incisions 

 about J/3-V 2 its height. 



T. forlesi, no. 52. 



d 1 . Adult shells less than 2.5 mm. in length; 



parietal lamella serrate nearly to its base. 



T. f. nanus, no. 52o. 



c 1 . Parietal lamella of adult shells low, less than 



than 0.1 mm. in height ; outlines of spire conic. 



d. Diameter contained about 1.9 times in 



the length. T. prionoptychia, no. 50. 



d 1 . Diameter contained about 1.6 times in 



the length. T. serrarius, no. 51. 



ft 1 . Adult shells with more than 7 whorls, and with the 



diameter less than 40 per cent, of the length. 



T. terebra, no. 49. 



a 1 . Parietal lamella bearing a scythe-like process, and without 

 spine-like serrations. T. drepanophora, no. 53. 



49. T. TEREBRA (Aiicey). PL 52, figs. 1, 2. 



" Shell elongate, terebriform, thin, pellucid, light-corneous, 

 under the lens lightly and closely impressed with growth 

 lines, minutely perforate. Spire much produced, regularly, 

 conically tapering, the apex minute. Whorls 7 to 7*4, closely 

 coiled, a little convex. Suture somewhat impressed. Aper- 

 ture small, somewhat oblique, truncate-oval, with a rather 

 small and serrate parietal lamella. Columella provided with 

 two folds, scarcely visible in adult shells. Peristome acute, 

 unexpanded, the columellar margin minutely dilated and ex- 

 panded. Last whorl short, rounded, somewhat saccate. 

 Length 2.66, diam. 1.0, alt. apert. 0.75 mm." (Ancey).
